School's Out!

Last day of classes was yesterday.  Hooray!  First thing M did when he came home from school was run downstairs and fire up Guitar Hero to play School's Out on the Wii (at an extremely high volume!)

I'm glad school is out, but it is a bit more of a mixed blessing for me than for the kids I think.  I see pros and cons to this.

Pro:

I can sleep in

No supervising homework/listening to complaining about homework/etc

General relaxed attitude about mealtimes and bedtimes

Kids have more time so can do more chores

Con:

Kids are together more so often more bickering

Less time to myself

Kids complaining about chores/making sure they do them

 

I'm sure there are other pros and cons.  Overall, I'm always glad when summer vacation gets here, but I'm also generally glad when school starts up again.
