Can I Have More Days Like These Please?

July 21-24

After such a wonderful package coming in the mail from Gammie, is it any wonder that life right now is like a daily fashion show? The girls are loving their new pieces…101_3682

Limping or not Ken is loving his time with the kids in the playset HE built!101_3690

And then the kids brought our their little kits they bought at Lakshore (2.00 a piece!) to get  their dig on. Zander loves the gems and the other two boys are in love with digging their own dinosaur bones.101_3691

101_3693101_3711We had some mad growth with our beans and some spare time in the evening with Ken not playing soccer it was time to pot our beans. We kept our best of the littles’ beans in a pot on the table in the kitchen (remember the sunflower attempt?) and the rest in a large pot in the front yard.101_3700

The most excitement was truly in the watering!101_3704

101_3707Back to our half days with some fun in the sun thrown in. Funny how focused the kids can get with the help of a 2.00 toy!

On Tuesday it was time to learn about FRANCE thanks to Little Passports. I added in two books – Around the World, Let’s Visit France by Susie Brooks and France by Liz Sonneborn for Emanuel to look through for fun and of course went to Activity Village (link on right) for printable book marks and a map.101_3717
