SUMMER DAYS

To mantain a schedule of some sort during the summer, we have days we do certain activities such as. . . . .
Our school PTA sold movie passes 10 for $20.  This is so fun for the kids!  This week they saw HAPPY FEET 2

We like to go swimming.  It's fun and it wears them out.

The kids play with friends throughout the week, but when it comes to an arranged PLAYDATE, it is 1 day a week.

We love to do lunch at McDonalds once a week.  I send out a mass text and it's always fun to see who shows up.  We eat and they play and I visit for 2 hours or so.

We make some sort of craft.  We generally go to the Dollar Store, JoAnns, or Michaels and buy a simple craft.

Once a week we go to the library and pick books.  Our local library has a reading program for the summer where the kids earn suprises for every 6 days of 20 minutes reading they do.

This is just an idea of how I keep sane and my children feel ENTERTAINED during the Summer.  Now this all depends on if they keep the house and their rooms cleaned and obey.  I look at it as a reward system.
