Deep stuff happening on summer break, you guys.
I'm quite certain the phrase "Weapons of Mass Destruction" was originally used for siblings who are nearing the end of summer break. #Ugh

My summer vacation is 4% drinking, 3% camping, 2% gardening, 1% running from bees and 90% watching my kids perform lame tricks in the pool.

Beach vacations: when you want a refreshing change from saying "wow!" about things your kids do at the park to things they do in the waves.
— SpacedMom (@copymama) June 26, 2017
Just heard my son scream "I'M ASKING NICELY!!!" at my daughter, so summer break is going really well.
— Kristen Mae (@AbandonPretense) June 5, 2017
My son woke me up at 6AM to plan his summer reading list, so apparently common core totally skips the part about how summer vacation works.

"Mom! Someone put the swimsuit crotch stickers all over the walls!"

- Now with:
50% more fighting
10x the whining
Loads more dirty dishes and
0 chances to refresh, rejuvenate or relax
Roses are red.
— OutnumberedMother (@OutNumbMother) June 26, 2017
Violets are black.
The countdown is on
until school gets them back.
Things I've learned since becoming a mom: Summer: It's the only time we both can wear onesies.
— MommieKnowsfresh (@MommieKnwsFresh) September 11, 2013
Warm weather must give me headaches because I've had this one since summer break started oh...
