Schools Out for Summer!

So yes, I'm admitting to having Alice Cooper's lyrics reeling through my head all morning (what can I say...I had an older brother who loved heavy metal.)  Today marked the last day of preschool for my 4 year old and ahead lies literally weeks of schedule liberation.  I feel a bit nostalgic watching his teachers dismiss the class, as I recall the excitement I always felt on that day.  Ten minutes later, my excitement is replaced by panic.  I feel terrified and hopelessly unprepared, because for better or for worse, I'm a schedule girl.  The beautiful and inherent flexibility of Summer begins to overwhelm me...

Another great resource for local Summer "to-do" ideas can be found on the Washington Post's Summer Bucket List.


 I'm off to dig out my Crayolas.  Happy Summer to all...
