We don't have a schedule to follow or any particular place to be at any certian time. We have gotten rid of "bed time," and turned off the morning alarms. Sometimes breakfast is at lunch time and the popcorn we eat while watching an evening movie is considered our dinner.
The back yard has turned into a whole new world where the kids have not only helped with planting our first ever vegetable garden, but they have also discovered secret hideouts behind and underneath our pine trees and in our lilac bushes, aided in the greening of our beautiful (and rapidly growing) grass with their daily use of the sprinkler and kiddie pool, and they have delighted in the fun that their sandbox has brought them (even though they have to suffer through a bath and hair washing every night before bed).
Winter coats have been replaced with tan lines and the snow shovel has been replaced with the lawn mower. The front yard which once held a snowman and sported kids on tobogins, now holds numerous sidewalk chalk drawings and several dried up piles of picked dandelions.
I'm so thankful to be spending the summer with my babies and treasure each day with them. I'm excited to see their transition into summer and appreciate their easy going personalities, which make my love and enjoyment for schedule- free days so much better.
