A fun and easy coloring summer spinner craft that features summer symbols that kids love: beach flip-flops, watermelon, popsicle and lemonade.
There are not many days left before the summer break begins and this is very exciting for both my kids and us.
This is the last year I have to wake up at 6:15 am. My youngest is a 5th grader and their elementary school starts at 7:45 am.
I’m the one to open my eyes first in the morning. My youngest son and husband follow at 7am and my middle schooler wakes up an hour later.
Next school year I can sleep an extra hour and I so look forward to that.
I also can’t wait for long days, camping trips and meals on the deck.
My boys, on the other hand, will love sleeping in, not doing homework and no structured days.
