Summer Break

19 May

My son’s preschool is out for the summer (WHY in the world they don’t go past mid-May is beyond me!) so that means we have 2 months to relax before he starts kindergarten at Tramway. I have already heard the “I’m bored.” whining this morning, so that means I have to get on the ball and go into full mommy entertainment mode. We’re signed up for t-ball already, but I need to get them signed up for swimming lessons (sign ups are every day this week at OT Sloan pool from 3-6PM) and maybe some other activities. We have zoo passes, but with the price of gas I want to stay close to home as much as possible. Maybe gymnastics for my little one? I’ll have to peruse the Lee County Parks & Rec book and see what else is coming up for us to do. I want to do as much as possible before school and the TSP starts interfering.

My oldest has also expressed a desire to give acting a try. At 5, I doubt he’s really old enough for any of the local stuff, but I want to indulge his interests as much as possible. If anyone has suggestions for this particular interest, let me know. I did check out the Temple Theatre’s site and it looks like he is too young for anything there, so I’m guessing this may be something we’d have to do in Apex or Cary.

 

Weekly Challenge #3

19 May

This is back after a 2 week hiatus while the kids had pneumonia!

1. Set a timer for 15 minutes and spend that time cleaning/straightening in a room that needs a lot of help. If you can, do it several times this week.

2. Wash all of your comforters, blankets, quilts, shams, and similar items. Pillows, too.

3. Clean your window treatments. Dust the blinds and take down curtains and sheers and wash them, etc. While the curtains are off the rods, dust the rods. Shower curtains, too!

Bonus/Alternate: Make the smallest room in your house (probably a closet, bathroom, or utility room) the cleanest. My small master bath is a disaster because nobody ever sees it, so I’m going to take some time and really clean it up!
