My old elementary Franklin did, so my mom would walk with us all down to the school to eat free lunch and burn off some energy on the playground. <br /><br />Other than that, I think you got it about right with the sidewalk chalk, games and snow cone stands - maybe make a routine habit of it, like every monday or something? That way they have something to look forward to, and you have something to help keep them in line with: "be good or we won't be able to do the snow cone stand". <br /><br />Your boys are so cute Mindy! Have a great summer!AubreyMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963616274991709000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-11749635679141943642009-06-02T16:23:57.668-06:002009-06-02T16:23:57.668-06:00I'm with you, Mindy, by the end of the day I'm wor...I'm with you, Mindy, by the end of the day I'm worn out, and the sun makes me just a leetle more tired! Luckily, mine are young enough that a blow up pool in the backyard works just fine. That's not really helpful, is it!<br />XOXO<br />BrookeThe Stoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906366267620766925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-60292204980400700832009-05-31T21:51:10.358-06:002009-05-31T21:51:10.358-06:00Camille, I think we have a lot in common!Camille, I think we have a lot in common!Mindy Gledhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210432882951369712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-12577126347629258302009-05-31T19:42:36.881-06:002009-05-31T19:42:36.881-06:00Oh my, honey this post is so me!

Each letter stands for something fun that the kids can do that day. Some examples are: L is for library. Go to the library today and pick out a book to read. When you are finished, turn it back in to me for a treat!<br />K is for kite. Make a kite and try to fly it! T is for toys. Go through your toys and make a pile of the ones you don't want anymore- give them to DI or have a little garage sell. K is for KING FOR THE DAY. You get to choose what we do today! (Or King For The Day has been the day that they get to go to work with their dad and he takes them out to lunch- they LOVE that!). Anyway, you get the idea. You can follow them in order, cut them up and draw them out of a bag each day, or it can just be a surprise and you tell them what letter of the day it is when they wake up. You can eat foods that start with that letter, dress in a color that starts with that letter, go to a place that starts with that letter etc. My kids look forward to this each year! Have fun!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148499772452388366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-38922970989675222002009-05-29T12:45:06.267-06:002009-05-29T12:45:06.267-06:00Summer School baby!! 9-12 M-th right at Wasatch. ...Summer School baby!! 9-12 M-th right at Wasatch. They do a bunch of fun stuff and it gives your kids something to do for a few hours during the month of June. It's just June 1st to the 30th, and it's only 3 hours a day. So they have fun, but aren't overwhelmed by going to school still. OR, there are awesome classes at the Library for Science and Crafts. They are only like $2.50 per class. My boys love it. All of these are fairly cheap and don't require Mom's involvement. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336257907984540015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-13836860027544702742009-05-29T12:05:15.723-06:002009-05-29T12:05:15.723-06:00I'm glad I'm not the only one, Heather!I'm glad I'm not the only one, Heather!Mindy Gledhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210432882951369712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475930100426267778.post-82350444804426284342009-05-29T11:54:14.774-06:002009-05-29T11:54:14.774-06:00uh, yah.

Hinkley loved having her kids home each summer- she felt that they were hers all summer long. Good grief I felt like a clod mother when I read that. <br /><br />Will look forward to reading the comments on this one so I too can get some ideas!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822720865388103513noreply@blogger.com
