Updates Soon

I've been trying to update our last few days camping, but every time I try to upload a picture, it's turned the wrong way (even though I've fixed it on my computer). I'm a little frustrated.

I'll try to get it fixed soon.

"Wet" Thursday & "Friend" Friday

For Wet Thursday, we went with some friends to 7 peaks. We had a great time. The kids absolutely LOVE playing in water. We went pretty early - got there around 10. It wasn't too crowded, but by 2 it was packed.

And, I didn't take any pictures. Dang! I'll remember to next time. But, we had a lot of fun with Katie and her kids.

For Friend Friday, we had my good friend Brandy's little boy over to watch a movie. His name is Maddox and he is such a sweetheart! They watched Monsters, Inc., colored pictures of monsters, and jumped on the trampoline. They played so cute together. They had a great time.

"Wet" Wednesday, revised

So, for wet Wednesday we wanted to go to 7 peaks - but it ended up being too cold. So we had to switch days with Thursday (creative Thursday). First, the kids got creative and did Just Dance 3 for their physical activity. So funny to watch.

Then me and Myles made homemade granola (I'll post on my baking blog) and sat down and snuggled. I think that's pretty creative, right... lol.

We were then going to draw some pictures, but some friends called and invited Jack & Bree to go to Trafalga - which was nice for them to go with friends. So, that was our day. Pretty exciting.

"Take a Trip" Tuesday

We decided to go to the dinosaur museum for our take a trip Tuesday yesterday. The kids really wanted to take pictures, so they each took cameras - I think they really had a great time. Here are some pictures from my camera:

Summer Activities

Last year, our summer was very uneventful! We stayed home most of the time and I felt so bad for the kids. We don't really have any friends in our neighborhood, so it makes it hard for them to get out and play.

Well, this year I decided to have a plan so that it would be much more enjoyable. I found an idea of The Power of Moms - Summer Camp Kit. So, I kindof used their ideas and my own and this is what I came up with.

The kids have to be dressed and have breakfast by 9am. They have from 9-noon to get chores, reading, writing, and physical activities done. After lunch, depending on the day, we do our fun activity. Each week we plan out the entire week. Mondays we don't do anything because it's deep cleaning day. Tuesdays are "Take a trip Tuesday" (yesterday we went to the dinosaur museum - I'll post later). Wednesdays are "Wet Wednesdays". Thursday is "Get Creative Thursday" and Fridays are "Friend Friday". I am loving it so far, even though it's only been 2 days. But, it keeps us on a schedule and I think it will really help us have an enjoyable summer.

My goal is to post every day our activities. I know that's impossible for me, but I will do my best :)
