Two weeks ago, school was over. The last day was a Thursday – and it was all over. Brandon finished fifth grade (next year he’ll be in middle school!).
The past few years I’ve dreaded the last day of school. For Brandon it was like a punishment to be told to play outside. He sat around the house and moped. He would go and spend days and weeks with the in-laws just to escape the boredom that was being home.
But in the past year the neighborhood that I’ve always loved has gotten even better. There’s been an influx of kids (and dogs – everyone got puppies this year) and I can’t get Brandon to come home to eat any of his meals!
There is nothing I like more than a neighborhood full of kids my son’s age on a street with no free traffic (very little traffic at all)!! It’s so wonderful that he has so many friends to play with!
Sounds like the summer every mother dreams of for her kids. 🙂
