Visit to Grandparents

Park, out for donuts, playground, ice skating, homemade chicken soup with Texas Toast, walk around the neighborhood, jump house, bike riding, water park, out for ice cream, visiting the Habitat house my Dad helped build -- what more could you ask for?

Origami Shirt Cards

These are just a few of the origami shirt cards we made for Father's Day. It was fun to choose paper and see how they looked. (You can also just plain paper, or have your child color a "fabric" design.) These are the easy instructions we followed.

A Blessed Week

The kids enjoyed a week of afternoons at Ooey Gooey Science Camp. I enjoyed the interruption-free opportunity to do lesson planning for the home school co-op science class I'm teaching next year! To celebrate the last day, we also went swimming and got McDonald's to eat in the car on the way home.

Gingerbread House in June

I got a gingerbread house kit for $2 after Christmas. We had a fun time putting it together and decorating it, as you can see from the photo! Next year I may buy 2!
