I love that. :) You know, eve...Awww Grandpa Camp!!! I love that. :) You know, every summer I anticipate boredom and crazy moody kids, and every year we sink into the groove and have the best time. I wonder if that won't happen for you with your extenuating circumstances, too - you have such sweet, smart kids. I bet they'll pick up the slack in their own ways and be more willing to do a little extra and also keep themselves more entertained. We like to do outside play outside in the mornings, and save all inside stuff for when it gets super hot. That includes board games. Apparently, we all love board games at this point in life:) <br /><br />As for your husband, I bet you don't even have to worry about that guy. That being said, I think every spouse benefits from having a little set-aside alone time to do whatever he needs/wants.

I think what you might want to do is give yourself permission to embrace that this summer will be a little different, and that is okay. If the kids have a little more screen time on a day you feel especially gross, it is okay. If you want to have movie marathon Mondays with them and do nothing but pj's and movies, that is okay. They will remember those special times of cuddling and just hanging out with you. In fact, I love themes. You could theme it up. Movie Mondays, Taco Tuesday, Sundae Sundays, etc. <3Melinda Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09950553865855214402noreply@blogger.com
