Busy Busy

I don't know where March has gone! It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for it to arrive. Now, it's over. I'm not sure how that is possible. It at least gets us one month closer to summer vacation.

Speaking of summer vacation, I am not sure how much of a "vacation" it will end up being. At the time, keeping the kids busy this summer seemed like a great idea. This week, however, I have been plotting everything on my calendar and am not sure it was such a great idea. I feel like my time over the next 3 months is spoken for.

Blake will be the busiest of all. Wait a minute...if he's busy...so am I...he can't drive yet! I am thinking of stocking the car with books, movies, snacks and drinks so that Kendall and I will be prepared for our shuttle service this summer. I am happy that Blake is booked though so he can get adjusted to managing his time in bits and pieces before high school hits. It will be a nice ease-in to all of that. Whoever said kids were the most work as babies was a LIAR!! Right now, I am thinking that when Blake hits 16, I may like it. He can take himself to all of these events.

Kendall just has swimming on her plate for now. Since Blake is also swimming, I won't be going too many different directions. They'll have practices and meets at the same times. I am hoping to find another thing or two for Kendall to do this summer. If she had it her way, she'd be content to swim every day. Surely, there will be some interesting books on the summer reading list as well.

As soon as I figure out a few more dates for camps, etc. I am hoping to find some time this summer for an actual vacation. I know I will be ready to get away for a few days this summer. I need to do my research and decide on a few places to go. It will be nice to spend time somewhere that isn't dictated.

Until mid-summer, we won't be travelling far. Maybe not even until the end of July. Our camper may get some good use over the next several months. Until then, if anyone wants to see us...you know where to find us! The guest room is ready.
