Summer Vacation is here!

Yesterday we had our last Clubs class of the year, we brought the kids over to our house for ice cream and a movie last night. The kids had a great time. Next week it's the awards ceremony for the kids and the following week we are having a picnic with all the little ones who don't get to go to camp.
It is going to be a nice break, but since Dh and I are taking over Clubs for next year I'm sure it's going to be a short break!

We've had rain most of the week, which is okay since we've been doing nothing but play all week!
This Saturday we are going to the Washington Zoo with the Church! The kids are really looking forward to it.

For Memorial Day weekend Dh is going to be at camp with the 3rd and 4th grade boys, so the kids and I are going to stay with my family so we won't be home alone missing daddy :(

For the next few weeks we are going to have a webkinz blog :)
A6 wants to show everybody her rooms so I thought why not show pictures here!?
We will do a room of the week or maybe even a room everyday since we have plenty of them to show!

That is all for now, it's 5 am and I can't sleep so here I am writing this post. I'm sure I'm going to be crashing sometime today.

Last Week of School...or is It?

This week was supposed to be our last official week of school, however between doctor appointments, pest control appointments, Bible studies, Truth project, friends coming over to visit, we haven't really gotten much done.
We've been reading Frederick this week, no math, no phonics, just reading. I don't think we are going to be doing anything else the rest of the week.
I'm not too worried since we are going to keep doing some type of school throughout the summer.

Speaking of summer I just saw the sign for the first VBS of the season!!! Starts June 2nd.
Hopefully this year X3 will be able to go to a few of them.

Well that is all for the next few days,

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!

Twilight

I've been reading so many books lately that it's hard to blog about all of them, but I have to blog about this one.
Twilight is a story about this girl Bella who falls for this boy Edward, who just so happens to be a vampire.
Edward loves Bella but can't decide whether to kiss her or kill her... so of course I loved the book!
There are four books in all, the fourth and final book is coming out sometime in August.




There is also a movie in the works, which also looks good.
I found this picture and I love the way Bella and Edward look in it.
Seeing this pic made reading the book so much easier for me.
















I've also been reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, they are great books as well, the fourth book in that series is coming out in a couple of days..I can't wait.
This book is also being made into a movie!

I'm going to be reading The Land of Elyon books next...so many books, so little time!

Truman's Aunt Farm

This week we've been rowing Truman's Aunt Farm, this is such a funny book, the kids really like it!
Since we have one more week of official school, (next week I will have my 180 days of school) we are taking it easy, we've been doing a lot of reading and playing lots of math games.
Somebody from Church introduced me to Doodle Dice and the kids love it. Even X3 can play this game.
I'm really looking forward to having a nice week off from any school, then we'll be doing school two times a week just to make sure that everything stays fresh in A6's mind!



Yesterday we had our annual bike race during Clubs, this year we had a scooter race with all the younger kids. X3 got to race his scooter and came in second place!! We had so much fun, it was a little cold but all the running around kept everybody warm. Dh and I were exhausted by the end of the night.
