It's 10:30 a.m. and breakfast has not been served. The boys are upstairs playing happily (or should I say adventurously, violently, save-the-universe-from-bad-guys-edly?) and I'm using the excuse to do computer stuff. I've been trying to spend less time in front of the computer when they are watching me (perhaps a post on that in the future).
Anyway, back to the "It's 10:30 a.m. and breakfast has not been served" thought. I love summer vacation!
This is an unusual "vacation" since we are doing some school this summer (started yesterday), but when it's only an hour a day, it's pretty easy to squeeze in just about any time and doesn't need to be immediately after a right-on-time breakfast.
During the school year, I try to stick to a pretty tight morning and afternoon routine: breakfast, school, lunch (late, usually around 2:30), chores. During summer, I let it all fly out the window. Chores will still get done, but the only stipulation is that they're done before Daddy gets home from work. Meals will still be eaten, sometime. School will still get done, also preferably before Daddy gets home from work. Boys will be kicked out of the house to play at some not-too-hot point during the day (seriously, some days they'd sit in the Lego pile all day long!). Swimming lessons and appointments will be scheduled, obviously. But if we feel like doing school before breakfast, great! If chores don't happen until 4:45, that's cool. If we don't get hungry until 11 a.m., we'll do brunch.
Speaking of which, it's nearing brunch time now, so I think I'll get that ready. Hope you're loving summer as much as I am!
