My big boys are out on track break AGAIN. I don’t know why children shudder at the thought of year-round schooling. This is the life! I swear they are on break more than they are in school! They were out for 3 weeks, what, a month ago? Easter week was spring break so they were out then too. Now here we are…. they are out again until May 27th…. FOUR WEEKS OF FUN!!! (Jumping up and down with sarcasm….) Five little boys 24/7 for the next month…. compounded with WARM, verging on HOT, sunny days…. a pool in the backyard (currently with no safety fence)… translates into BORED and cranky big boys. I am only ONE person, and I can’t safely corral 5 kids outside in a danger zone by myself. I need man-to-man defense! Noah is a swimmer, but Eli is not, and of course the crazy babies are not. [Yes, I know we need to get Eli into some swimming lessons, but unless I can find someone to come to our house to do it, it’s not something I can fit in at the moment (and stay somewhat sane)… albeit important… maybe after our 3-day-a-week soccer.]
