Summer break?

So, why do they call it summer break? It isn't a break at all! The kids are exhausted from playing so hard every day. We have extra daycare kids here because they're out of school also. It's hot and we're all tired. Where exactly does the 'break' part come from? I have to say, I am looking forward to the kids going back to school. That will be a break for me! Yes, I know, shame on me!

Luckily, they're looking forward to it also. My 1st grader is counting down until his 1st day of school. I love that he is so enthusiastic about learning. Our daughter is starting kindergarten this year, so it will be a big year for both of them. And, then we can't forget our youngest member of the family; he'll be starting preschool this fall also! Lots of new things coming and we're all so excited about the coming school year. Only 15 days until school! WOOHOO! Did I say that outloud?
