@BusyMommy I say we go year around with school. It's better for the kids' education and you get TONS of week or two week breaks throughout the entire year!
But this is 'murica and we don't believe in changing the way it has been
I became a mother at a very young age, and also became a grandmother at a very young age as well (was still in my 30's). All these "end of school year" posts make remember those days in my life, that I thought would never end. But end they did. I can't advise you guys to "appreciate" this time of your life, but I can tell you it doesn't last forever. Just take LOTS and LOTS of pictures, just in case you don't have a forum like this to remind you of these days.
@BusyMommy Just think, one day, your pre-teen will be having the same issues with their pre-teen! (I am hearing ALL about it now from my middle child, lol)
