I am just going to lay it all out here. My children are kind of awesome people. They come up with the coolest games and when they get rolling then have so much fun together. They are creative and smart and have above average good looks. I am raising a troop of exceptional human beings. Sure they fight (a lot) and complain (about everything). They also are totally addicted to screen time and I indulge that habit way too much. However, they are still pretty awesome people. They are kind and very funny. I like them.
Right now the middle three children are planning a performance of "Cinderella" the play starring and directed by Adell. Even Wyatt is gathering costumes and throwing out ideas for Adell. Colter is running around the house naked saying "Woo-hoo!" (he wants someone to open Wyatt's saxophone case so he can pretend to play the saxophone...or break it). Lorien is reading quietly in her room.
I have been nagging them to get their homework and jobs done for almost four hours. I do not think it is going to happen. I think I am giving up right now. I think my children are amazing people and the process of inventing, costuming, directing and preforming a play is more than homework enough! Reading is great! Nakedness and an interest in music is great!
I just want summer vacation to be here. I am tired of schedules. I am tired of busy work. I am tired of all the running around.
I declare this will be a summer of nothingness. We are going to chill out! After all, my children are awesome people and we are only going to have 10 or so weeks to fully indulge in all that awesomeness.
I know there will be plenty of fights, plenty of complaints and I will say "no" all. the. time.
Bring it on.
I am ready.
