Yes, I'm really excited. Finally, I will be able to set aside my tutorial job (I tutor my kids) during the summer break. Well, on second thought, not quite really. Ralph will be on grade 1 next school year and I'm thinking of giving him a jump start for next school year just to make him ready. But it will not be in school. I plan of giving it to him at home with me as his teacher. This will make it more comfortable for him because he will not leave the house and we will do it during our convenient time. What do you think?
Just recently my aunt, Sister Connie, a Franciscan nun who is a principal in one of the Catholic schools run by their order, visited us. Since my concern is whether there is really a need for Ralph to go to summer classes to prepare him for 1st Grade, I asked her opinion. I'm glad that we are on the same thinking: that summer is a time for kids to relax, play, enjoy and have fun. This will make them more prepared mentally and emotionally for the next school year.
Since my kids love to go swimming, surely we will do a lot of this. And because they are at home in most times playing play station, computer games, also net surfing, watching DVDs and television, we'll be staying late in most evenings. Surely this will result to higher electric bills! But since the driver will be on a vacation, each of the maids will be having their own scheduled vacations, everything will compensate.
Well, I think the most enjoyable part for me is being able to man the kitchen. Finally, I can try the recipes that I longed to serve to my family but was not able to find time.
