I already finalized my self made blueprint of the improvement of our front lawn for the summer. Since the kids had always been in our house during summer, I designed a kid friendly playing area. I planned to put swing sets and a sand box under the big shady tree, so that they will be playing under the shade.

I cant wait to see how their faces light up when they will see the new place.

Summer has always been the best season for us. It’s the time of the year where we get to spend a longer period with our love ones, as compared with the holidays. It’s a time also to enjoy cooking, eating and feasting in our garden. Kids have summer vacations and often times we get summer work leaves. And most of these free times are spent at our home while bonding with the whole family.

For this summer, I am planning to have our lawn get a new landscape. More grass and plants should be added. I am also thinking of putting a sand box and a seesaw on the left side corner for the kids and outdoor furniture on the opposite side. And lately I will not forget to avail the best toast ovens for a convenient cooking. I’m sure everyone; especially the women in our clan will enjoy preparing meals on our family day on summer time.

During one of the kids overnight weekend in our house, I planned a Disney movie marathon for them. We called it a movie, popcorn, waffle and ice cream-pajama party. Different brands of micro waved popcorns and different flavors of ice cream with waffles were served. I was able also to use my christmas gift, the best waffle maker and it pays for it thanks to my best friend who gave it to me.

As we were watching, I noticed one of my nieces was too closed to the TV screen while watching. I told her to find a more comfortable place because she was too close and that she was prone to the TV’s radiation. Then she started asking her unending series of why-questions when I told her she might end up using high grade lenses instead of eyeglasses when she gets older because of eye damage. After about half an hour of explaining, she finally got the point and went to sit beside me to watch.

Babysitting is hard but fulfilling especially when you succeed in teaching the kids with important things.
