Summer!

While Brennan and Griffin have been out of school for a few weeks, Aidan officially ended his year last week. Today, marked the official beginning of the summer activities. Our summer schedule has become so convoluted that I may need a spreadsheet to keep all of it straight to ensure that each child gets here, there and everywhere at their appointed time.

(After considering and discarding the spreadsheet idea, I have decided to print up a weekly calendar to keep on the fridge for each day's activities. Our dollar store dry erase calendar was not built for our mega-schedule.)

This is the first year of all three boys jumping into swim team. Officially, the starting age for swim team is 5 years old, but we snuck in G with a big ol' wink from his assigned coach. In addition to swim team, all three boys have swim lessons at the pool.

This is also the first year for all three boys to officially join a tennis program. I had signed each of them up for lessons, here and there, but they are now officially tennis players, and have lessons each morning at the courts. In addition, Aidan joined our club's tennis team, with daily practices and twice-weekly tennis matches against other local tennis teams.

Griffin will also start golf this year. He begins a week long golf camp tomorrow and is beyond excited to join his brothers in the world of golf balls and golf clubs. The other two boys have enjoyed weekly golf clinics and now all three will participate in a weekly three hole golf league.

It's a schedule that keeps us hopping and busy, but a good summer busy that creates little boys who are physically exhausted at the end of a long summer's day.

And three tired, exhausted little boys is the best summer present for this mom.
