Blue Jeans Week 24

We are hitting the hot dog days of summer here, and they just seem to fly by, can anyone else relate to that?  :)  Hope you all have had a good week!  Here is what we have been up to. . .

Sunday:  Ben is so good to read aloud to the kids.  They are finishing up #5 in Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series which they have all loved.  Good summer reads if you are looking for some.

Monday:  Ben, Miss O, Miss E and Mr J finish up their new bookshelves.  They are super excited to get them filled with stuff which I am sure won't take long.  They did a great job and look great!

Tuesday:  Swimming lessons week!  Miss E has fun jumping off the diving board.

Wednesday:  Mr J with his cute swimming teacher.  He loved going to lessons this week!

Thursday:  The girls checking out one of the Harry Potter 7 part 2 previews. . .with just a few days left in the countdown until the movie is out!

Friday:  Mr J and one of the most classic of childhood entertainments--a pot and pan band--he entertained us with some pretty good music this afternoon.

Saturday:  Mr J and another classic entertainment--dominoes.  He was showing me his favorite dominoes  :)  It has been too hot to be outside, so we have been playing lots of games and doing projects inside in the nice A/C. 

Hope you all are keeping cool and enjoying your summer!  Have a good week!

  

Blue Jeans Week 22

What a week, what a week.  We are loving summer here at our house, how about yours?

Sunday:  Our church's kids' magazine (The Friend) has a weekly summer reading program that we are doing on Sunday evenings.  We had a word search to do this Sunday.  Mr J wasn't too sure he liked it :)

Monday:  One of the 60 or so pictures that was a result of giving the camera to my 6 year old and his 10 year old sister for 30 minutes.  Say Cheese!!!  (so grateful for digital cameras!)

Tuesday:  Mr J and Miss O working hard on their father's day cards for Dad and grandpas.

Wednesday:  We went out to the farm of a friend because we wanted to see her baby goats.  The kids loved them.  This little white baby goat chased Miss O around and around a tree.  It was so cute!  Miss E loved holding it.

Thursday:  Had some really good car washers helping me out today. 

Friday:  Ben and the kids (mostly Ben) are making some book shelves for their bedrooms.  Our next door neighbor has the most amazing wood shop and always lets us use it and is so helpful.  Ben and Miss A check out 2 of the shelves they are working on.  They are making 3 total. 

Saturday:  It is so cute lately when Mr J goes to bed.  He brushes his teeth, says he prayers, we read a book, then it is lights out.  A few minutes after that he will call out, "Dad, aren't you going to come in for a little talk with me?"  So tonight I got a picture of their "little talk" as they were looking out his window at the fireflies.   So cute!  What a great Daddy he has!

Hope you all have a wonderful week and are enjoying your summer!
