Is this Why Parents Dread Summer?

FOR. CRAP. SAKE. What's it been... 26 days since my boys have been out of (pre)school for the summer? I am already counting the days until they start back again. I love them and enjoy their company, of course, but let me tell you. Put the two boys together and you have just created the ideal recipe for disaster. They love each other. They can't stand each other. And it goes back and forth like that ALL DAY. Then (and here's where I come in), they start banding together in effort to drive me to my grave.

I used to get comments from other people about my magical abilities with children. "You're so calm," they'd say. "Those kids respond so well to you," I'd hear. NOPE. Not any more. I yell, we fight, they scream and run around and I think to myself... gee. I'm glad our neighbors are far enough away that they don't think I'm a lunatic. But I definitely feel like a lunatic.

And it can't be blamed on boredom either. We have something to do just about every day. Bike-riding, camps, trips, park, library. I specifically planned lots of fun activities for the summer in attempt to ward off boredom. But excuse me. I still need to do dishes, clean up, play with the baby every once in a while and I should not have to deal with crap the whole time. Seriously. Ten million toys in the house and they are not satisfied with any of them... except the one in their brother's hand!

Sooo... that's it. *let's out deep breath* It has just been a rough couple days and while I know my kids are truly very good, happy children, I am just having awful visions of the what is to come over the next 2 months. Can it get worse? Don't answer that. :) Plus, it makes me sad to be a little hopeful for the school year. Not because I don't want to spend time with my crazy boys - because I do! But really it's because I think they need some time apart from each other. Darn kids. I most certainly did not aggravate my sister (or my parents) like this when I was younger! Right? ... mom? ...anyone?

Let me hear your summer horror stories! Or your tips on how to avert them. ;)

Four Great Uses for Baby Blankets in the Summer

 

Now that warm weather is here, you may be excited to pack up all of your baby's cool-weather clothes and bring out the onsies and tanks. Me too! But don't forget to keep a couple blankets in your baby bag, because there are several times when you are going to want one.

1. Summer days are hot, but evenings can get cool. Placing a thin blanket over your baby's shoulders or legs can keep the chill off of them if you will be out at night.

2. Keep the sun off your baby when you are out strolling. You have probably had the horrible experience of opening the sun canopy on your stroller only to find that it won't adjust correctly to provide shade. Drape a lightweight blanket across the top of the canopy and down the front of the stroller to keep the sunshine out.

3. Ever taken your baby out of the car seat and noticed that her toes are as cold as ice? The air conditioning in your car can chill little legs and toes quickly. Place a blanket over your baby's feet when traveling to keep your little one comfortable.

4. And don't forget the all-time best use for a blanket in the summer... for sitting on! Adults and babies alike will appreciate a soft barrier between themselves and the itchy grass. Bring on the picnics.

If you are looking for some new or lightweight blankets this summer, check out these baby blankets for boys and girls from BabyBlankets.com.
