Good morning!
I'm back from vacation! We went to Southern California and had a wonderful time! It was so nice--temperatures in the 70s all week and we were staying at a place right by the ocean so we always had ocean breezes. It was wonderful!
So today's our first day of summer vacation at home. Jordan has football workouts at 8 am M-H. Steven will drop him off on his way to work, then I will pick him up when he's done. He's not 100% sure what time that will be but is figuring it will be similar to last year, which was about 10:30 am. That's the only thing scheduled for today.
I am thinking that we will spend mornings doing the housework, etc. and then afternoons are for fun. Right now my plan is that MWF we will go swimming, T will be library day, and H will be park day. I also want to go on kid-friendly hikes on Fridays. Last year I came up with the idea of doing Mommy Camp. Each week will have a theme and then we'll have various activities related to that activity. I'm going to try to keep the kids from spending their entire summers in front of a screen.
Today my main housekeeping goal is to get the house cleaned up. We've still got some unpacking and cleaning up to do from the trip. Today's Monday so it's laundry day. We did get the vacation laundry done but there are one or two small loads that need to be done.
I'm working on the June menu, and will shop in my freezer when I get that done. I'm planning to grill some extra chicken and maybe steaks tonight to keep in the fridge for lunch leftovers.
Hope you all have a good day! I enjoyed my vacation a lot and I'm also glad to be home!
