Sunday Funday... or is it?

Sundays - day of rest, or day of 'what the heck are we going to do till bedtime?'?

I quite like Sundays especially when there are special events organised that are targeted to families and kids. I find that it adds structure to the day. Unfortunately with the weather getting warmer these events tend to dwindle.

And, to make things worse, with the weather getting warmer it also means that certain activities are, to a certain extent, out of the question.

Such as going to the swings.

I think it's ludicrous that there isn't a tent or some other option to provide shade so that the swings and park can be enjoyed during the summer months. They just get too hot for the kids to go on them and enjoy them - and it's too hot to stand around the park/sit on a bench.

And June is that maddening in-between season where the weather tends to go on a bender as though it cannot decide whether it wants to keep cool or warm up.

So we'll just have to wait until it's hot enough to actually go swimming (the sea is still rather chilly) - or is that just me?

Summertime with Kids - Love it or Hate it?

Summer's fast approaching once again - the season that most people love, and others just hate with a passion.

It's a season of sunshine and long days, tinged with a sense of freedom and that glorious smell of coconut suntan lotion. Or did this image stop once the kids came along?

As a child, summer basically meant a welcome break from school, albeit that we'd be terribly bored by mid-August. As an adult, those summer memories linger but perhaps the days aren't quite as carefree as one would like them to be, especially when you have children that need attention and entertainment.

I'm very grateful that my LO will be attending summer nursery this year because I know that he'll have lots of fun with friends, playing and learning with his peers able to have fun with water games and other activities that require outdoor space (sadly, something that is becoming a luxury in today's homes).

I myself had attended summer school when I was younger and I made new friends there, some of whom I'm still in contact with till this day.

What are your plans for the summer and how do you plan on keeping your LO entertained?
