I LOVE summer and all the craziness it brings!! But for those of you that know me -- not being on a schedule can sometimes simply annoy me. Why is it that as soon as summer vacation hits, all schedules go out the door? Meal schedules, nap schedules, bedtime schedules, etc. I look at the clock at breakfast time - 9:30!! Lunch - 1:00!! Naptime for Jace - 2:00!!! Supper - 8:00!!!! Bath/Bedtime - 9:00 IF we're lucky!! My kids sleep in until 8 or 9 in the morning?!?! These are the days when I am so thankful that I have one of the best jobs on the planet -- being a teacher and being able to stay home so we have time to "recover" from these schedules. A good nap about every 4th or 5th day is required by all.
On Sunday, we will officially be done with baseball and tball games. I'm hoping that will help things a bit - not as many late nights or fast food meals. ICK!! It will be July 1st before we know it and I don't see summer or life slowing down too much.
So for now, I'll just buckle up and enjoy the ride! Who needs a schedule anyway?!?!

3:00 p.m. Jace wakes up and we are now all outside being eaten by gnats and playing, find tick #2 on Jace's leg
4:30 p.m. We go inside for a snack and to "relax" for awhile - find tick #3 on Jace's head
