We made it!!!!! We started in late summer. Pranced through the fall. Trudged through the dark cold days of winter. Pushed on head down through the spring and now it's here. Today is the last day of school in Weaselville.
I wanted to celebrate with water balloons and popsicles in the yard. The weather, with an expected high of 65 and rain isn't going to cooperate. I won't that rain on my joy. Today there will be no chores or homework. Today there will be only joy in Weaselville.
I have already thrown away the lunch boxes. After 2 years of daily use and countless trips through the washer, they needed to be put to rest. I hate packing lunches and must admit I really took much pleasure in throwing them away. I am all about simple pleasures.
We will spend the lazy days of summer kicking it old school. Bike riding and playing in the yard will be on the top of the activity list. We will eat our weight in popsicles. Roast hot dogs over the fire pit and hardly use the oven. We will eat grilled everything. We will enjoy the sunshine just as soon as it actually arrives.
There is no summer agenda in Weaselville. We do whatever we feel like on any given day and will just enjoy the fun and relaxation of it all. I think Phineas and Ferb have it exactly right.

Grilled everything sounds like a great plan!

Hooray! I'm happy for us both :)
Happy summer! Time to fire up the grill!
Can you believe it finally arrived! We have similar no-plan plans for summer.
BTW, Phineas and Ferb is the best thing since Calvin and Hobbes.
Enjoy your summer! I hope the weather catches up to your calendar soon!
Sounds like a good plan. Or lack thereof.
Welcome to the joys of summer! It sounds like yours will be a great one! Love the idea of grilled everything. I'll be over!
Can I come and play please? :-(
Congrats on making it to the summer. "We will eat grilled everything." AMEN! Us too.
Yes, no agenda sounds perfect for summer!

Happy Summer! Our 1st day here is marked by a downpour. Oh well....kids won't mind. Sleeping in today is top on their list!
Hurray for summer! Popsicles and ice cream trucks, bicycles and fresh-cut grass, sprinklers to run through, lemonade stands, kids running in little packs on the streets and the ever-glorious fourth of July.
I hope you and your family enjoy this summer best of all. And write about it too.
