Summer is here at last.  And I love it.  Biggest twinkle ever. 

This summer, I have four kids full time (two mine, two in my daycare) and no minivan, because I refuse to surrender to that.  I've put together a whole schedule for the summer, arranging what to do on each day, depending on who's gone for a bit it summer school, who's off for family vacations and what stuff my family has going on. 

The good news is, we've got wheels.  A wagon for the littles and two bikes with training wheels for the biggies.  There's a strip mall of sorts just up the road.  There's a google-world full of ideas.  There's a great daily schedule already in place. 

Every Friday is Friday Fun Day, spent outside in our baby pool with the plastic slide dumping right into it creating a mini-water slide for lots of fun.  I roll out of bed, throw on a terrycloth romper, and let the kids play, play, play.  Maxing and relaxing.  It's like an early/extra day off. 

Think about how you can create some Twinkle Time this summer.  Eat popsicles.  Sit in a chair in the shade.  Read a good book even if you haven't read one in ages.  It's the best time of year.  Savor it.

See you Monday.
