I LOVE SUMMER.
I love the warm sun, cooking on the grill, the long days, cooking on the grill, even mowing the lawn isn’t that bad – and did I mention cooking on the grill?
Being a dad in summer is great too. No more kids being cooped up inside. Playing soccer and baseball with the boys. Taking them to the zoo. Playing at the park. Teaching your kids to ride a bike. Whats not to love right?
I HATE SUMMER.
The one thing I hate about summer is the 6AM wake up call that I now receive every day in the form of 2 kids who wake up the instant the sun touches their room. Well actually, I am pretty sure that Cedric is the one that wakes up from the sun and then wakes up Heath as well.
The best case scenario is that they come in and climb all over us until I get up and get them some food. The worst case involves them heading into the living room or some other room and completely destroying it in the name of fun. You would be amazed what my two boys can do in 20 unsupervised minutes.
On top of that because they wake up so early they are such a *cough* joy *cough* in the evening before bed due to their lack of sleep. Sigh.
Alissa and I have decided that we are going to either make or buy some blackout curtains for their room. My hope this will help them sleep longer and help me enjoy summer completely…you know stuff like grilling.
