Summer Break Starts

Here is is! The first day of summer break!!
We all stayed up late last night watching a movie so the older girls are sleeping in. It's so nice not to have to get up and make sure clothes are matching and socks are found and everyone has their papers signed for the day. We're suppose to do that the night before but for some reason or another it never happens.
Mackenzie, of course, was up at 6:00 AM. She is cutting in molars and has a little bit of a head cold.
It's way too hot and humid to be outside today so I am going to make the kids clean the house a little and then we will go rent some movies to watch.
I don't have anything formally planned for the summer but I know we'll have a good time no matter what it is.
It always makes me wonder if other parents are stressing themselves out unnecessarily when it comes to planning summer activities. My kids are laid back and open to anything. I like that about my family. I know moms that woke up this morning and already have the whole day planned. Do they think their kids won't like them if they took a day of rest? Is it not OK to do nothing for a change? I have to believe that my kids will love me and have a good childhood even if we're not on the go all the time. My kids worked hard in school this year and I am glad to be able to provide them with a stress free environment. We probably should have more of a defined schedule but I like how things are around here...and that's all that matters.
