I don't like to give advice, but I will tell you what my plans are... (cough and laugh at the same time goes here)... Mondays are cleaning days. All the kids have chores so it will done fast (benefit of having four slaves... I mean kids). Monday nights are family pool and picnic nights, (bribe goes here... and I don't like to cook if I've cleaned... or directed my kids to clean... so pbj at a park sounds good... soda if they do good cleaning! The ONLY time they will get soda, unless dad does it...) And then the rest of the week I try to do a project. Only look at one at a time. As for trying to get them to read... book club! Free library days! And don't forget... summers are the best time for major bribes!
Love the plans... I'm sure it'll work out great. :)
You will have to keep us posted on how you are succeeding in your "Wish List" throughout the summer. After reading your list, I was a bit tired ... I actually have a list of things also, we shall see how I do. Kimberly
