Way to go summer! It’s only Wednesday night and thus far this week:
- Zoe taught her 4 year old self to swim in the 8 foot section
- Amelia forgot she was potty trained. On multiple occasions.
- A colleague flayed me alive for no good reason
- Some neat, new alliances were made
- Pre-planning for the start of school (9/7) and preschool (9/13) is swamped, late, but still going well
- My broken toe felt better. Then it didn’t. Then it did, then it felt like someone sliced it off, and then it got numb, then it felt better. Sigh…
Things I’ve learned that I will apply next summer:
- The kids are going to camp, if we have to rob banks to find the money, if they have to go to special needs camp, whatever
- The kids will be going to the local pool as many weekdays as we can get them there (they sleep like babies after a 5-7pm dip)
- I will buy multiple bathing suits that fit my flat butt
- I will tan my legs, even if I have to buy the lotion stuff (skin cancer, ya know?)
Ok, let’s do this, bring on the fall!

That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
What lessons have you learned from your kids or about yourself and your family over this long, long summer?

We learned the benefits of summer camps this summer – and too will be begging, borrowing or stealing to make sure it happens again (and more often!) next summer!!

That’s so great for your kids! We’ll be doing the same next year, good luck to both of us!
