Whew! I feel like I am so late posting this.. it's not that it hasn't been on my mind, just been crazy-busy with end of year stuff, and the usual wife/mom duties - y'all know how it is! But, without further ado, here is this summer's weekly themes and plans for this summer! This will help beat that dreaded "Mom, I'm bored!" It's worked really well in the past, and if there's a day that we don't get to that day's activities, that is completely OK! Life happens, and sometimes there's just too much going on to get to the library on Tuesday, or whatever the case is..
Please feel free to use this as a starting point for your summer! Some of the activities are active links that will take you to the website where I found some of the ideas, so make sure you check them out as well!
Here's to having a safe, fun and SANE summer! ;)
