Besides moving...nope, none. No big plans not related to moving. I actually can't wait for it to be July already! :blink:

I'm jealous with everyone's plans for summer...
Like Jacinda, we are starting winter season now...
2 days ago was the coldest for us (so far) - it was 2'C at night... brrr...
But, during winter break in July, we plan to go away for two weeks and might be hitting the slope to ski

That's a great time to be here!! I can't wait to see all your photos from that trip!
Your move is a big deal, Wendy! LOL! It might not be fun, but hopefully life will settle down to a dull roar once the move is done! :wub:

I take it you don't like the cold, Eve! Skiing sounds fun! I hope your winter weather is tolerable :wub:

Well.... I'm off work for the summer. That is one thing I love about my job, summer's off! However, I AM taking 14 credit hours this summer. That is 4 classes and as these are only 8 week courses they are condensed meaning each week we do 2 weeks' worth of assignments. This is the first week and I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed! My summer plans, therefore, involve a lot of reading, a lot of quizzes, several papers and a whole lot of studying!
Beyond classes, I am working on getting things done around the house. Right now my big project is my back deck. I am power washing it all and then will stain and seal the deck part and paint the rails, step risers, etc. It is kind of a monumental task for me as the deck is huge. And awkward. There are 5 different levels to the deck and it is very oddly shaped. There is a long covered part off the dining room. On either end of that there are steps that lead down. Then it turns back onto itself and wraps around to meet again. Hard to explain, but it is big and is requiring a whole lot of work!
One thing I'm super excited about is getting to see the grand baby! They live in Nevada now. My stepdaughter will be visiting her mom for a weekend at the end of this month and we will get to see her and the baby during that weekend! We haven't saw them since last August right before they moved away and I've been missing them both fiercely!
Beyond that, both kids have camps, my daughter has 3 more weeks of a college summer program and my son is taking parkour classes. I'm on standby to sub for teachers in our summer school program but don't have any real plans myself.

This last sentence made me laugh, Sherri!! Based on your list, I don't think you have time to have any real plans for yourself!
I hope it's a fun summer, even with all the things you have to do!!

We're not doing much this summer as we're trying to save up for next summer with going to Florida. This summer we're planning on going up to Sedona, Az to see some sights my son learned in class this past year and just watching some movies that are releasing this summer (we saw Aladdin already and are waiting to see Toy Story 4, Lion King and probably the Spiderman movie). Also, taking the kids to the pool every now and then. We also have VBS next week.

No super fun plans or trips this year... just house hunting and moving, hopefully before our lease is up in November. But so far it's been a rough search, the market here is insane in our price range!! We've been searching for 2 months, seen 16 houses, put in 3 offers, and still bupkus! The first house we were one of 23 offers... the second house we offered 11,000 over asking... I'm trying to hang in there, but with Monkey and Bean in tow every time, it's getting old, quick.

Oooh! That will be a very fun trip, Mary!
I love Sedona. It's such a pretty place. I always loved taking the kids to the movies during the summer. I hope you have a great time!
Are you staying in the are you are living in now, Karli-Marie, or moving someplace else?
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I hope you find something that is perfect for you. I totally understand that it's tiring towing the kids all around!
The real estate market here is pretty crazy, too. I'm heading down to CA at the end of the week to get my mom's house ready to sell. I'm hoping she'll be able to move up here by fall, and hoping the market levels out a bit for us to buy; after her house is sold, of course. LOL!! I want it all to work perfectly for ME! (that sounds so terrible! And, I really am joking)

I have summers off, and the last few summers I've done bigger projects around the house. This summer I just don't have it in me. For some reason this school year burned me out more than usual. I'm not sure why, since I had a relatively easy class.
School got out yesterday and the kids and I have the rest of June off, with no real plans. We'll go to the pool, do some local day trips, invite friends over, and they'll spend more time playing on their screens than I usually let them! (That's because I want to have extra computer time to scrap.
) Beginning in July each of the kids has a couple weeks of summer camp or summer school and we'll go visit family in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania a couple times.
I have a few small house projects I need to get done, mostly so DH feels like my summer home is productive. But the thing I really want to do is work on some scrapping projects. I'm in the middle of a Disney album from our November trip, and I'm hoping to finish it next month. This Disney album is the first thing in a while that I've really wanted to scrap. I'm not feeling our 2018 and 2019 albums--I've barely touched them, and I don't have much desire to do what I've done the last few years. So after the Disney album I need to figure out how to approach scrapping as the kids are getting older so that I can still feel inspired to get yearly albums done.

I will have a little time come August. I will have two full weeks with no summer school subbing, no kids in camps, no college classes and no work yet. I'm looking forward to that 2 weeks! I don't have plans for it yet, but I will figure out something!
