My Summer Plans? Play Star Wars, Swim, Maybe Kick Some But
Any kid will tell you: summer goes fast.
Too fast. In June it seems summer will be endless. Long, lazy days without an agenda. You get up when you want, meander around, fiddle with this, faddle with that, no rush, no worries, thinking to yourself, “I’ve got all summer.”
Then all of a sudden August is breathing down your neck. You get a little panicky and realize you’d better revisit your summer game plan and prioritize what you’re going to do with the precious time you have left.
Maybe you even write an affirmation statement to remind yourself.
Last week I walked downstairs and found this on the couch. I guessed it was the 7-year-old’s handiwork, judging by the fact that he’d signed his name to it twice.
Good to know that in addition to playing Star Wars, jumping on the tramp, and riding his bike, he’s going to squeeze in some time to put a beatdown on his 4-year-old sister before summer gets away from him.

The link to this article is messed up. Too many “http’s” in it. Needs to be rebuilt. A great post though.
Thanks for letting me know, Bill. It did have too many https in it.
I came here to do two things: play with Legos and beat on some siblings. Looks like we’re almost out of Legos.
Really, what else is there in life?
At this point in the summer, I’d be thrilled if any of my kids were showing this much initiative.
Funny. If they can’t muster up the energy for a smackdown, they are really lethargic.
I’m not sure what it says about me as a person but I always like the use of the phrase “beat down.” I tried getting to this post via Species but their is something amiss with the link. Not sure if you already know and I’m not one of those people. My brother would look at me and say, “what are you, my editor?” Nope. But with that tone he’s going to catch a beat down.
Beat down puts a smile on my face, too.
Holy hilarity. I love your kids.
Since we’re already a good portion into summer, dare I ask how his big plans are panning out?
I hope Hellcat’s but is hanging in there…
or something like that.
He’s been able to squeeze in a few pummelings.
LOL! And he left a sort of confession letter. I love it!! Glad I found your blog through another mutual reader… I will visit again!!
Thanks for coming by.
It’s good to have goals…poor Hellcat…

Don’t feel too bad for her. Her goal list would read something like “Annoy brothers incessantly until they want to kick your but.”
