Summer Vacation Makes My Monday

A little break from the rain this weekend


Today was the first Monday of summer vacation. Although the rain continues to pour down outside and the temperatures have barely reached the 60 degree mark, it has been a nice start to summer vacation. This morning there were no lunches to pack, no uniforms to find, and no bus to race after at 7:45 am! That alone made my Monday. In fact the kiddos and I stayed in our PJ's till 10:00 and had a nice leisurely morning playing UNO and making a craft. It was a great continuation to our Father's Day Weekend, only today Dad's not around to join in the fun. Yesterday Jim slept in then enjoyed a delicious breakfast the boys and I prepared. He loved the cards the boys made, the girls painted hand prints and the tickets to upcoming baseball game. It was great to have a day to show how much we all love and appreciate what a truly great dad he is. Later we celebrated with my Father and Father-in-law (two other great dads) with a party at our in house also in honor of Jameson's birthday. Over the years J has come to expect a family party in addition to kids party with all of his friends! Although the weather ruined our plans for an actual cookout it was still great getting together with the grandparents, cousins, Aunts and Uncle!
