No schedules! I mean we have schedules, but we’re more apt to ignore them in the Summer. Bedtimes are always later and rarely consistent. Pie for breakfast and lunch? Sure. It works in the Summer. No schedules during the rest of the year would feel irresponsible, but in the Summer it feels naughty and delicious.
What do you give the boot to during the summer months?
Reason #4 I Should Like Summer: Schedules, Pa-schedules. Who needs one?
Marisa - Right? And the lack of schedule is the one thing I’ll miss when school starts again. But right now, my kids feel aimless without a schedule, and have yet (at 8 and 5) to embrace the freedom of no schedule.
I like this series. You’re helping me appreciate summer before it’s over. But I’d still trade summer for October any day.July 25, 2012 – 9:35 am
Carmen Farrell - I sure as hell don’t give the boot to regular bed time. What are you? Nuts?
I do however ease up on baths – they’re in a pool most of the day or playing with the hose. I say that counts.July 26, 2012 – 12:30 am
Erika Dyer Ray - I’m better at saying, “Yes, you can stay up until 8:39.” Actually Mark is, but I’m a push-over in the summer. We’re bad on baths all year. Even without a hose or pool.July 26, 2012 – 12:48 am
Amy Dixon Bader - Dinner. Last night I had ice cream for dinner after the kids went to bed. Shhh.July 26, 2012 – 12:29 pm
Margaret A. Burkenstock - My grandchildren love coming to the mountains. We visit Miss Piggy’s and get ice cream for dinner at least once while they are up. I feel that they get their fix of calcium and all those good things!!!July 26, 2012 – 12:43 pm
Amy Dixon Bader - I remember you taking us to the Charcoal Pit to get the Kitchen Sink ice cream dish!July 26, 2012 – 3:51 pm
Erika Dyer Ray - I’m thinking ice cream for dinner sounds pretty darn good. I must have something in my freezer…July 26, 2012 – 6:28 pm
Molly Dixon - Our neighbors used to have strawberry shortcake for dinner when strawberries were in season. One of the kids told me and I said,”yes, and what else”. That’s it, she said.July 29, 2012 – 10:36 pm
Erika Ray Photography - Strawberry shortcake sounds so good, I’m a little upset I had a burger for dinner. Tomorrow I guess.
