last day of school and mother angst

it was the last day of school yesterday. this is when i wish i was a full-time stay at home mom so i can just hang out for the next two months with kai.  instead he will go to summer camp for 4 weeks (the longest ever).  i am lucky to have a flexible job that i love and was able to take most of august off work (again!).  still, i feel bad that he is in camp for so long.  sure he will bike, swim, monkey around at the circus, and have adventures with his camp buddies.  he’ll be happy.  but i prefer that he sleep in, be lazy in his pjs, complain about being bored and have summer adventures with me and our friends.

i will have to be sure our july evenings are full of fun - watching movies, staying up late (kai loves this!), go for evening swimming at the local pool, eat ice cream every night and whatever else we can think up to have a proper summer vacation.  we do the best we can, right?

flowers for mrs. chau, according to kai the best teacher ever!

have a lovely weekend - we’ll be celebrating canada day and my in-laws 47^th wedding anniversary!  i hope to be back with weekend pics on tuesday.
