Counting Down to the End of School

It actually doesn't mean all that much to me personally since I don't get summer vacation. But, the girls are definitely excited about school being over with after the end of next week. And, I have to admit, the last several days of it do seem to drag on, mostly because they've reached the point where they are only getting busy work. My oldest daughter does get a new end of school milestone today, however. She gets to empty out her gym locker and bring her gym clothes home for the last time this year. They are apparently just going to play games for the next 2-3 classes. Also celebrating summer break this year will be my wife. She started a new job last fall working for the school district's food services department. As a result, she has off when the kids do. She still will work her second job, as a bartender, a couple days each week though, just so she has some money.

the girls will probably think of something fun and meaningful to do this summer.

I'm sure their mom will put them to work. We are determined to clean out our back room (currently used for storage) and turn it into an office space.

It seems so strange to us on the other side of the world. Our summer holidays are at the end of the year so that's when the school year wraps up.

If weren't for the fact we get our summer on the opposite side of the year as you, your summer break would make more sense considering the kids get time off for Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. during the winter months anyway.

@srhelmer How long a break do they get? Our end of year break is about 6 weeks for junior school.
