We love summer
With back to school merchandise quickly filling the stores, I can’t help but savour every minute of summer even more. I know that many parents look forward to having the kids back in school, simply for the peace of mind of not having to worry about sitters, daycare and like. The thing is, and I know that parents with active children will agree with me, the school year is so busy with hockey, ballet, swimming, tap, jazz and all of their other extra-curicular activities that it’s nice to have a break from the driving. And that’s what the summer is for me.
Summer is also the time for us to do more things as a family. When the kids are in school, there’s homework combined with the kids’ activities, leaving us very little time to do anything impromtu. In the summer, however, if we don’t have any appointments, we can take the kids to the park or go to the beach for a few hours. I love that.
So with just over a week and half of summer holidays remaining (where did the time go?), we’ll definitely be making the most of our time. Let’s just hope the weather holds up!
