We had a great 4th of July weekend. Didn't do too much, kept it low key, watched fireworks from our back yard, went swimming, BBQ, Ben slept with the kids in a tent in the backyard, and enjoyed being together as a family. Hope you all had a good one!
Sunday: Our kids really like paying games--board games, card games, etc. This afternoon they played PayDay with Ben.
Monday: For part of our 4th of July dinner Miss E made patriotic strawberries dipped in white chocolate with blue sprinkles. They were yummy! She saw them in Family Fun. Ben was her helper :)
Tuesday: I love to fly our flag. So grateful for our country, freedom, and the men and women that work so hard to keep it that way! God bless them and their families!
Wednesday: Nana taught Mr J a duet that they can do together. Having a sucker in his mouth must have helped him play better :)
Thursday: Like I have said before, we love the library and are there lots in the summer. For each pound of books the kids read they get to donate a penny to the library for new books. Mr J adds his 10 pennies for reading 10 lbs this week. He is up to 100 lbs for the summer so far--super reader!
Friday: Classic summer shot, I am watching the kids in the pool--love summer time!
Saturday: Got up to a city and a Toys-R-Us to get these Poptropica toys. My brother is a web designer for the kids' online game (he does the people and scenery), and they just came out with some toys from it. My brother designed these toys. The kids were so excited to get their Uncle's toys! If your kids aren't Poptropica fans, they should be, it is a safe, fun online kids game, and so much fun! All of my kids ages 6-13 play it. Check it out http://www.poptropica.com/
Hope you all have a great week! I am getting caught up on my paper Project Life this week. Catching up on my journal cards and putting photos in. Love it!
I always love to come here and get a glimpse of life at your house -- a great one for sure!!
ReplyDeletemy kids LOVE poptropica... seriously, they've been begging for some of those very toys lately :)
ReplyDeleteand I like the idea of judging reading by the pound... ours does it by the book... which always seems to cheat my kids a little since they read 300 page books when their friends are reading 45 page books...
I've made those strawberries before. Not only do the look cool but they taste great! Wish we had a slide for our pool--so fun!
ReplyDeleteJen - that site looks awesome. I just bookmarked it and will show to my kids later.
ReplyDeleteAnd you guys have a pool? Did not know this. Definitely must make the summer days nicer :)
