My kids hate me....sorta

Well its the first official week of summer vacation and I'm not letting the kids spend all day watching television or sleeping until noon.  We get up every morning and walk/jog/run a mile and then have breakfast.  After a little television, they work on different workbooks.  I don't want them to forget everything before September.

My soon to be high schooler is working on Spanish, Geometry, Typing Skills and reading The Hobbit. I'm requiring her to give me a book report when she's done reading.  Her itinerary includes summer camp, days at the beach, traveling to her grandparents and birthday events.

My soon to be first grader has a workbook to work on and I'll be getting him another little book to do so he can keep sharp and work on his reading.  He is a ball of energy and having him run every day is really and its getting him in shape for soccer this fall.

So my kids don't hate me they just hate that I've made a schedule and I'm sticking to it.  I know in the long run my kids will be appreciative.
