Our Summer Vacation

This summer we do not have an agenda or any real plan. Evi was not looking forward to being out of school for the summer. She loves the friends, the structure and the challenge of being in school everyday. However, after being home for almost two weeks now, I believe she's had a chance to enjoy herself in an environment where she's more free to choose what she wants to do when.

While there has been quite a lot of bickering between the kids as they adjust to being together a lot more, they have had many moments where they've enjoyed playing together. This week already they've "traveled" to San Diego and Chicago (their choice of destinations), packing up almost every last belonging of theirs in any kind of bag, backpack, or gift bag they could get their hands on. They've played several games of hide-and-seek. And they've created worlds with Legos. It's been fun to watch.

In vara asta n-avem nici un plan, nimic programat. Evi nu prea vroia sa fie acasa si sa nu fie la scoala. Ii place sa fie cu prietenii ei, sa aiba un program si sa aiba provocarile care se gasesc la scoala. Dar dupa aproape doua saptamani acasa, cred ca s-a bucurat si fie unde este mai libera sa aleaga ce vrea sa faca si cand.

Chiar daca copiii s-au certat mai mult in ultima vreme cat incearca sa se obisnuiasca sa stea mai mult impreuna, au fost si momente in care s-au jucat foarte frumos impreuna. Deja saptamana asta au "calatorit" la San Diego si la Chicago (ei s-au gandit la locurile astea), si si-au facut bagajul (punand aproape toate lucrurile lor in orice geanta sau sacosa pe care au gasit-o). S-au jucat de multe ori de ascunselea. Si au creat lumi intregi cu Lego. Este frumos pt. mine sa vad asta.
