What to do this summer?

It's officially hot. The kind of hot where you have to turn the car on right away to get the AC going and the seat belt burns your leg. I've been slamming down bottle after bottle of ice water while I ponder what to do w/ our girls this summer. Last summer we were signed up for swim lessons, Rolly Pollies, Baby signs class, and one other class through the city. I'm tired just thinking of last summer. This year I think we're going waaaaay low key. The girls are in this phase where they never want to leave home. It's such a battle and I think I'm being a good mom by exposing them to new classes and adventures, but the reality of it is they just want to stay home and play with their toys. When I say, "Let's get ready to go to _____", Reese always says, "No, Mommy, I stay home wiff my famiwy". They are both super clingy to me right now, which I enjoy most of the time, but it makes it hard to be alone with two 28 lb. girls that want to both be held.

So....that's the tentative plan, doing nothing. Of course, we'll do Rolly Pollies as always and maybe swim lessons once a week in the evenings, but that's it. There's a few places that I'd like to check out with the girls, but nothing is officially scheduled. We're going to keep it open this summer, fly by the seat of our pants, and have some very happy campers that get that get to stay home with their mommy.

Plans for the summer? Stockpile food and ammunition. Leave the house only when necessary. Hydrate. Sunblock. And hope for the best, my friend.
