Realizing that when September comes along, we'll all be busy with school and work again, I've decided to take an untethered approach to summer's end. With no real routine in place, we find ourselves enjoying JUST being home. There are, of course, the occasional outings to Lake Anza for a swim, spontaneous gatherings with friends and our legendary mid-morning dance parties. Given the time and the opportunity to find something to do on their own, our kids have been pulling out their board games, matchbox cars, old books and even building blocks. There's often a request for screen time but we've been comprising on when and just how much. My relaxed attitude toward it seems to have lessened its focus.
Within the next few weeks we'll be receiving lots of guests and even hosting a wedding party! Things will pick up around here and we'll have plenty of dance partners to go around. I guess we'll have to take the dancing outdoors when our dining room table arrives...
How are you spending the remainder of this summer?
