It's official: summertime is here. Do you know how I know? Because I locked the kids out of the house today after giving them $1 apiece, and told them to get lost. Maybe I was a bit nicer, and said, "Happy exploring!" but the thought was the same. They were not allowed to come home for at least an hour, and were required to be on their bikes the whole time.
Can you tell that I am getting a little twitchy with the Playstation/Disney Channel/general crap the kids have been doing so far this summer? I remember when cartoons were only played on Saturday mornings, so once we woke up in the summer, out of the house we went. To the library, to the pool, to the corner store.
Now my kids wake up at noon and lay like giant slugs if given the opportunity. Ugh.
Hence, my lockout episode. I will try to find them some cool things to do, but if all else fails, I'm locking their little unimaginative butts out.
