Summer is a wierd time for the McCall clan. Most families talk about summer break and the family vacations that they are going on. Youtube and Facebook are busting with videos of parents talking about how summer break is like Gremlins. They're somewhat manageable during the school year and then they get soaked with summertime freedom and they turn into psychotic monsters. They want ALL the snacks, they want ALL the water related things, they want ALL of the sunshine and NONE of the bedtimes.
The McCall clan functions a little differently at this point. Kenley isn't in school yet (but she will be because 1. She is adamant about going to school with others, 2. This momma doesn't have what it takes to homeschool... not school wise because that's a piece of cake.. it's the sitting and having to explain something 8k times and getting my kid to not be distracted by the fact that she's at the house and can't just get up and go and do (she tries that now.. that's how I know)). Micah goes to year round school and not the 9 weeks on/off schooling thing. No, he literally goes to school every single week of the year. There are some days here and there that the school is closed for holidays but he goes all the days they are open. So our vacation times means pulling him out of school, which isn't in Micah's best interest (for a week or two it's fine) long term like in typical schools.. even typical year round schools.
Summer is wierd. We're not always going to get days that we get to do things together as a family. Every now and then we do get to do family shenanigans together and we try to make the most of it. I'm just thankful that my kids LOVE being outside and playing in water. Although, in the winter months I don't love that love so much because we can't and and trying to get them to understand we can't go swimming in 10 degree weather is mentally and emotionally draining.
This will be our last summer as a clan of four & a furball, so who knows what our family dynamic is going to look like next summer. I'll probably be contemplating how to grow extra arms and hands because right now I have one per kid.. but next summer....I don't think it will be entirely like Stranger Things season 3, but it'll probably be close.
