Mommy made chili for all the hard workers today, and it was a wonderful little moment of rest from all the office work we've been doing lately. Everyone piled in a few cars, and we drove to our house, where Mommy had her secret recipe chili waiting for us. Madison was there too, of course. She's enjoying her first week of Summer Vacation, doing practically nothing. Well, that's not true. She's been working on her assignment chart, which includes reading - there's the Summer Reading program. It also includes piano homework - that's something Mrs. Pam has left for the kids so they won't be so rusty as they return to classes next year. Also, there are other assignments. Mommy made a chart that gets filled out with stickers instead of check marks, which makes it more fun. Other than that, Madison is suddenly into Minecraft again, in a major way. She's constructed this huge glass skyscraper with trees inside, like an oversized atrium to run around inside.
We've been going to the library to keep her supply stocked with more and more "Weird School" books, something she's still going through very fast. Already, she's at 18% completion for her Summer Reading program. Meanwhile, Daddy is getting books too - more research!
Mommy is beginning to pack for the upcoming vacation, believe it or not. It is a lengthy process, packing. So anything you do now is good for later on down the road. Also, we're renting a car, something she's set up today as well. We're "in between" cars at the moment, and don't quite have a car we can trust fully to make the journey. Not that the one car is bad, but we think it would be best to put that wear-and-tear on another vehicle that can handle it, and not ours.
SPEAKING of the vacation upcoming, we're going to the beach. Yep. That'll be nice, and the first thing I though of was that we'll be gone a little bit longer on vacation this time. But then after further thought, why not? Everyone else goes on longer vacations, right? So the beach it is, and maybe even Kennedy Space Center too. We'll see how that works out, but the beach at this point is a certainty. I don't knwo WHICH beach at the moment, but Nana and Ba-Ba have rented a beach condo for three days, so we'll be hanging down there for a bit. Those days will be super awesome. Really looking forward to the next few weeks, and yes, that includes Summer Xtreme.
