Ahhhh, summer! Summer has been a whirlwind of activities for my kids! And thank God, because I know they would be so bored without it! From church camps to family camping, to Friday ice skating and kid’s club to a girl’s book club, volunteering, joining a Christian band, being a staff leader at church, taming baby horses, rescuing and rehabilitating a pigeon, selling puppies, rescuing and rehabilitating a pit bull mix dog, vacationing in California, Mexico home-building mission trips, late night poker games, weekly pool parties, BBQ’s, scrapbooking, starting the Accountable Kid’s program….well, I could go on, and we’re not even half way through! I love seeing my kids happy and busy! It wasn’t always this way, well, not for the last couple of years. After moving to a new state and struggling to fit in with the school scene and then finding the “right” church after three trial runs at other churches, and then homeschooling again…well, I think they finally now fit in! A little too well I think sometimes! My two teenagers are very popular! They have no free time it seems. That is good for them. Things tend to settle down in August anyway. I’m just thankful that they all have Christian friends! Oh, by the way, summer is a perfect time to start a new program…The Accountable Kid’s Program is just what my 7 year old and 12 year old needed! No more waking up at 6:30 to a kid laying omn the couch, watching TV already or sleeping in till 11:00! We are up, and finishing off our morning chores, earning activities and planning our days. It has been a great help to motivate and encourage my kids, all while teaching them the value of responsibility! I highly recommend it to all families and especially for kids that have ADHD!! Christopher thrives on routine and set schedules! Hooray! Check out the website-- http://www.accountablekids.com
