Hi Everyone,
What a week! SO many things are happening and it's a lot. Tomorrow I will officially have 2 teens in the house as my youngest will be turning 13. I truly think I'm in denial. All of these memories keep popping up with her as a baby. It truly seems like yesterday. I showed her one of her learning how to walk last night. And now here we are last day as a preteen.
Now that August is in full swing, as a mom of these older kids, I wanted to do a quick check in. Do your kids have any summer assignments? My oldest does and if your kids do, you may want to make sure those are completed or close to completion. The last thing we want as parents is a last minute panic the night before school starts trying to complete everything.
For all of my families who have readers or are reading to their kids and signed up for one of the exciting Summer Reading Programs, how's it going? Have you completed the challenges? Picked up prizes? If not, you may want to do a quick glance at those and swing by before the programs end for the summer. My kids always LOVED Summer Reading and we spent a ton of time at the library. Now they are still reading, but the trips are less frequent. I signed up for the Adult Program and have to make sure I complete my challenges too! (Now that my kids are older and reading independently, I've finally gotten back into reading myself. I think I am checking out more books than they are!)
Enjoy these last couple of weeks of summer. Soak it all in!
Michelle
