Pinterest will overwhelm you. Life can get too busy. Summer is fun. Kids grow fast. Don't have a plan all the time. Be spontaneous. Teach them life skills through fun.
You know what we are doing this summer?
Having fun.
Two of our friends will be with us most days and we are going to have a blast. Five boys and a mom.
We are not making elaborate plans. We are going to be outside alot. We are going to play and I will not be the entertainer. We have trees and woods and sticks and rocks and mud galore. They shall be set free to explore.
Purchased: A redneck pool from Walmart: CHECK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASA AND JUDE!

Life as a follower of Christ, wife, teacher, mom to twin boys and a baby boy. It is chaotic and we try to keep it organized!
