Yay! It's officially summer! The week before last was our first week when all the kids were home from school! I was so happy to have them together, but I knew we needed to have a little structure to our summer days or we would end up in some not so happy situations!
I turned to my new friend, Pinterest! I found a lot of great ideas to try!
This one is my favorite!
We actually did all these that first week, and it turned out really well! It gave the kids something to look forward to each day, and we still had time for a few chores, time outside to play and exercise and swim, do some reading and violin practice and lots of free time with toys!
Here is Susanna reading a book on library day!
Everyone enjoyed Field trip Friday! We went to the Children's Museum...
Susanna loved the kid sized grocery store!
Eli liked building the Arch like the one is St. Louis!
Madeline really liked this new peg thing where you push your body part against the pegs and they poke through the other side. It was fun watching each other!
Before we went home for lunch, there was a story telling and craft time! The kids made bird marionettes! The teacher was great, and the kids loved all the materials they got to use - dot paints, toilet paper rolls, feathers, eye stickers! Great project!
Last week we went to the beach (will post soon!) and next week Eli has zoo camp and Madeline has a sewing camp until 2 pm. We are going to try these activities again this week after the kids are back from camp in the afternoons... So much fun to be had in the summer, so little time!
