This is the last week of school for both of my kids ages 8 (g) and 12(b). Today, I asked my 12 yr. old son what he wanted to do this summer. His response "Sleep-in and do nothing." This is not the response I was looking for. So what do you do with two kids all summer? One that doesn't want to do a thing and the other that loves to do things as long as they are kid-like and fun. "No museums", they both plead with me. Last year, we took advantage of the Free Tuesdays at Balboa Park. For Locals and Military there are selected museums that are free that particular Tuesday. So every week, I took them to Balboa Park. Yes, I plan to do this again this summer but I will tone it down a little. Maybe one museum each Tuesday will be a happy medium for all of us. I certainly don't want them plopped in front of the tv all summer and I do want to take advantage of the lovely beach we have here in San Diego. This will be the summer that they remember. Doing things and capturing the memories. Now why did I think of going to work full-time again? Oh yeah, I remember, but that can wait till September. I'm a mom now, I am someone who does what is the best for the kids, I think they will thank me for that later.
