How do you know when it’s summer?
Do you sleep in every day?
Do you have time to read something other than professional books?
Maybe your alarm clock gathers dust as you sleep in every day!
My husband always said he knew it was summer time because I always spent more money during the summer than I did during the school year. You know, traveling, White Water, shopping, baseball games, sports camps, etc…. All of the fun stuff!!
Go to Jeannie’s blog: Kindergarten Lifestyle and see all of the other You Know When It’s Summer Vacation ideas. Lots of fun ideas!!

I was so totally trying to think of how to word this same idea when I joined the linky party. I couldn't come up with a way, so I gave up. 🙂

oh my gosh Lori – that is me. The other day I was talking to my husband and he was saying at least we don't have to pay daycare for my 4 year old during the summer and I don't have gas money to go to work…..and I was thinking – oh my – he really has no idea how much I spend during the summer taking the kids place and getting my room ready for next year…..
I guess what he doesn't know can't hurt him, right?
Ms. Morgart says
That is so true!! Shopping for the new school year is one of my favorite summer acitivities!! 😉

That's funny, Tammy! We think alike!
lorivines4 says
Jeannie, my husband thought the same thing- should be cheaper in the summer without all the normal expenses. But he wasn't figuring in all the fun we were going to go have!
lorivines4 says
Mrs. Morgart, planning and shopping for the new year are so much fun!
lorivines4 says
Thanks Miss Kindergarten! It is definitely true for me!
lorivines4 says
Corrina, I love having that extra time to shop too!
lorivines4 says
Stephanie, shopping IS so much fun!
lorivines4 says
Lisa, I took our boys everywhere and we had so much fun they didn't have much time for being bored!
lorivines4 says
So true isn't it, Beth Ann? 🙂
lorivines4 says
Arlene, my husband just couldn't believe how much more the summers cost than the regular school year! 🙂
lorivines4 says
Barbara, I love books so much too! But that is a year round expense for me! 🙂
lorivines4 says
I know, Kelley, hard to stretch those checks out! I think they should just automatically make them more for the summer time!
Miss Trayers says
I think I'm Amazon's favorite customer right now! Too many books on my summer reading list. I also spend too much on getting my room ready-I swear I won't buy anything else and then there's this great bargain….. 🙂
