A Whirlwind Week

Pardon me while I catch up on last week. It was a blur of activity.

A list of some of the fun we have been having:

• Completed replacing the flooring in the family room
• Began daily swimming lessons
• Completed last day of preschool activities and teacher gifts
• Attended a two-day homeschooling conference in Richmond
• Traveled to DC to visit the Smithsonian

The downsides

• Lack of sleep
• Gained 7 pounds!! (still not sure exactly how this happened but lack of access to my kitchen during the home renovation and eating out a lot probably had something to do with it! Also, the large amount of rain we have had lately canceled many of our evening walks.)
• Far behind on my cleaning and organizing efforts.

All this after just the first week of summer “vacation.” I mentioned before that summer requires flexibility and adapting to new routines. Boy, did I underestimate how true that would be for me! This week, I am trying to refocus and get back on track. Meanwhile, I will share the stories of last week to entertain you.

How is your first week of summer vacation going? Please share in the comments.
