I always think that summer will be more relaxing (I think because it was when I was a kid) but it ends up being stressful by the end because we don’t do enough or we end up doing too much, the kids get bored or overstimulated and fight, etc. I think this summer we’ll try to pay attention to how our schedule is affecting us before it gets too stressful.
