Summer is rapidly approaching...

...and I have no clue what I'm going to do with 4 kids all day, every day.

I'm used to having the three at home, and I dare say I FINALLY have that under control.  Maybe under control isn't the correct term, maybe, but to say 'I'm finally not crying in a corner in fetal position' is a tad bit dramatic, no matter how true.

We are not able to do a lot over the summer, as far as actual activities.  So, I was thinking that maybe we would do a tour of the parks in Somerset County.  At the end of our tour, I'd have the kids compare and pick their favorite.  That sounds like fun, I guess.  I'm trying to keep Jack in/get Emma in school mode, hence the comparing.  I may even have them do a project about it.

But other than the park thing, I'm at a loss.  Sure, we have the backyard, which is WONDERFUL, and we recently purchased a small (see: cheap) pool that will serve it's purpose, BUT, I want to figure something else out.  The words, "I'm bored" fly around this house way too quickly.  

So, my loyal readers, I ask...what kind of things should I try with the kids this summer?  Any suggestions?  

See the purple seat?  That one is mine.
