We finished school the first week of June and my best intentions of doing a wrap up on this blog didn't pan out...such is life. We are enjoying our summer vacation. I toyed with the idea of doing a scheduled and organized summer school and it hasn't happened. June flew by between "Grama Camp" and swimming lessons and then July has spun by too with VBS, another week of "Grama Camp" and holidays. August...we have nothing planned. Nothing. Okay, one thing, Amelia's birthday party. But after that, nothing. And I plan on keeping it that way. We will go to the park, have community group, women's group and various playdates here and there, but I hope to spend most of August enjoying the weather, our garden, and our little family.
Today we had an impromptu day at home and did a "Dinosaurs for Della" day! We read books about dinosaurs, watched library book videos about dinosaurs, made salt dough fossils, fossil sugar cookies, and watched "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs"! The kids loved it!! (and so did Mommy) I hope we can do a few more of these "school" days this summer. No pressure, just fun learning. Later tonight we watched the Olympic opening ceremony in London which was also a great learning experience.
I love my kids and my husband, I love this life.
