Summer

School is out for Calvin now! It was such a blessing to have him in school for June and July while the other kids were home. Clare and Lexey play so well together. They get along and play for hours without fighting.  Also, the weather was great during that time.

Now it is finally summer in that it is too hot for me to be a pleasant person anymore and I have all my kids home.  I don't like summer!

Calvin's school has a summer camp. It is from 8:30-12:30 every day. It costs $60/day and parents have to provide their own transportation to and from school.  Calvin had a couple of days of regular school he needed to make up so he was lucky enough to be able to attend a couple of days of summer camp. It is a pain in the neck to drive him down to school since it is 30 minutes away it is hardly worth my time to go back home in between drop off and pick up.   However, we took advantage of these two days to go to the beach and go to the zoo without him. It was kind of fun and we made a special field trip out of it for the girls. Since Calvin is at summer camp they do fun things like go bowling, do crafts and eat yummy food. It is a win/win.

I'm not going to lie -- if I were made of money I would totally pay for him to go to summer school every day this summer.  He loves his school and the people there. It is so great and we are so lucky to have found it for him.

Next week we go to the neurologist to learn a little more about his epilepsy.

Then in two weeks Clare starts school and we'll have a little summer with Calvin and Lexey home and Clare at school.
