First Day of Summer Vacation

Monday marked the first day of summer vacation for our family. When the kids got up I reminded them that they needed to clean up their rooms. After bedrooms were clean we practiced math facts, made laundry assigments for the summer as well as chore assignments. The kids have for the most part been doing their own laundry and it has helped me out a ton!!! The older kids each get 2 laundry days a week. Hopefully we can stick with our routine and have a smooth summer! Here's hoping!
After their hard work around the house the boys went and swam at a friends home and I took Bean and a few of her friends to our neighborhood pool. Have I mentioned how much I love this pool? It is never ever crowded which is wonderful! I also love that they have a kiddie pool for the little ones. Chief loves the water and this is just perfect for him. I absolutely LOVE Buffalo summers and today was perfect.

Chief was totally content with his bucket. He kept filling it up and dumping it out. I think many summer days will be spent in the kiddie pool.

This little girl loved Chief!
