It's the end of the school year. It's been full of field trips, and loads of extra fun things.
This is good because the end of the school can be hard to get through. I'm tired and have lost my sparkly enthusiasm of the beginning of the year.
Lunches at the end of the year become a stale boring chore. I adore my BIL and his childhood story of his dad packing a can of tuna and a can opener in his school lunch. I know I'm suppose to side with the BIL and feel outrage but really I relate to the dad....it must have been the end of the school year.
This year I bought some fun treats (junk food) to spruce up lunches and make lunch making more fun for the last few weeks. Nothing motivates my kids like a mini bag of Cheetos in their lunch box!
As for homework. Oh! It's so hard to muster up the energy for end of the year homework. I have slacked off on some of it, but make myself feel better by maintaining nightly reading time. It's all I've got.
I'm looking forward to lots of unscheduled hanging out time...beach days...and loads of snuggling.
Field trip to release salmon fry.

Since I have to go into the office 3 days a week maybe this summer you can meet me for lunch a few times ...or I could stop by your house for a visit with you and the kids! :-)
