Inspired by Wise Craft’s Rules for Summer, Newt and I have come up with a list of our own.
- Be dressed and ready for the day every weekday morning by nine.
- Spend some time outside everyday, even if it is raining.
- Any chores not done during the week must be completed on Saturday.
- Go someplace new every week.
- Do a little reading, a little writing and a little bit of math each day. If a little is too little, do a lot.
- Try it yourself first.
- It’s okay to watch tv on Saturdays and an occasional weekday after dinner.
- Fruits and vegetables may be eaten at any time of day except for right after a meal.
- Don’t interrupt Mom while she is in the bathroom. Whatever it is can usually wait.
- Always keep a little cash on hand for the ice-cream man.
