Summer Plans

It's been over 90 degrees here the last few days. We've been so blessed with amazing weather this Spring and I don't want it to end! I'm not ready to be shut inside this apartment with two active toddlers, one of which turns as red as a tomato in the heat. Last summer was brutal on us. Ella had just been born so we were not able to go out and do a lot, especially because my recovery from having her was particularly tough...she was 10 lbs, 9 oz after all! I get cabin fever pretty quick and usually make it a point to leave the house every day. Last summer it just wasn't possible, and I nearly went crazy from it! So...to avoid a crazy mama this summer and to keep these two monkeys busy, I am going to be proactive! I have created a summer schedule to keep us going, keep us on track, give us a plan. It involves leaving the house everyday, doing lots of free indoor activities, and seeing friends and family. I do not have to stick to this plan everyday, but it gives us a gameplan for the days we have no other plans. Movies will be a big part of our afternoons, because that is the hottest part of the day. Errands will be run before 10 a.m. and swimming will happen as much as possible. We will survive the summer, and yes, we will enjoy it and make wonderful memories while we're at it!
