Summer Plans

It is officially Summer. We finished up school last week. Yesterday was Memorial Day. I'm wearing a tank. My toenails are pink, just like Ladybug and Snickerdoodle. So, it is officially Summer!
I have found that homeschooling is a lot like having a full-time job. I rarely accomplish anything besides school from 8 am- 2pm. Then, the rest of my days are spent doing laundry, cleaning the house, making meals, grocery shopping. I don't really have time to do big projects like I used to do more of before I was homeschooling 4 kids.
Therefore, I have big plans for the Summer. I want to organize my recipes. I have a bit of an addiction to cookbooks, but I tend to use the same few recipes over and over. So, I am planning to put all my recipes into a couple binders, and hopefully give away or sell my cookbooks. So, that will give me some more counter space and make it easier to find a recipe when I am looking for it.
I also want to organize kids clothes. I have way too many bins of kids clothes, size newborn to 8, both boys and girls. I just need to get rid of some and have the rest better organized for when I need them. Then, there are kids toys to organize. They really are quite spoiled and have more toys than they ever play with! So, we are going to get rid of some of those too!
Hmmm...it is sounding more and more like I should have a rummage sale. I'm just not sure if I'm up to it, so I will most likely give it away to friends who need it or to Goodwill.
Besides all this organizing that I desire to do, I hope to spend as much time as possible just having fun with my family. Hubby is unemployed right now, so we have to find free fun to do with the family. I plan to hike the beautiful hills around here. I plan to spend time at City Beach, on the beach while kids play in the water. I would also love to spend more time with the wonderful friends I've made here, in Idaho.
