Thoughts for Thursday

Bleh. That's one of my thoughts for Thursday. The downfall to year round schools is that we have a crazy, insane, long period of time (12 instructional days or more) AFTER the kids have taken the EOGs. We all know that learning can (and does) still happen, but let me tell you... these kids are done. Ding dang done.

After awards on Tuesday we had a great day that included an hour and a half of kickball. 90 degree temps and it doesn't even phase me or some of the them. However, most kids these days are pure-t wimps. I vow to enforce good ole outdoor time daily when we have kiddos. A little fresh air and vitamin d never hurt anyone.

Tomorrow is the last day of school (with these kids). Next week is workdays (M, T, W). We are headed to Lake Norman for the 4th. We are so excited to take Scout swimming and on a boat for the first time. Expect lots of pictures.

This is what I am envisioning...

What are your plans for the 4th?
