You know it's summer vacation when...

...you break up at least 16 fights before noon.

...you buy two loaves of bread on Monday and you only have 1/2 a loaf left on Friday.

...same goes for the two gallons of milk you bought at the same time as the bread.

...you don't see your 16 year old before 11am.

...there are at least 2 extra kids in your house at any given time.

...you realize the nice tan your child has going on was just a good layer of dirt after she takes a bath.

...you can still smell the sunscreen on your child even after they've bathed.

...you have to sweep the floors every hour and it's not due to your o.c.d.

...you wash more pool towels than you do bath towels.

...it's 8pm and you have a backyard full of neighborhood kids.

...rarely is anyone in bed by 11pm most nights.

...and rarely is anyone asleep by midnight those same nights.

And finally, you know it's summer vacation when...

...you don't feel like you're sleeping in on Saturday! :)

  2. I DREAM OF THE TIME WHEN MY CHILDREN WILL SLEEP UNTIL 11. Then we will be on the same schedule.

    1. Clay is my only late sleeper right now, although Shelby and Emma are getting better. They usually get up around 9ish but are pretty self sufficient if I want to stay in bed longer. :)

    1. They will one day! I remember being hugely pregnant with my second, crawling out of my 2 1/2 year olds room on my hands and knees at 2am because I had just gotten him back to sleep for the THIRD time!
