I feel like there's just not enough hours in the day!!
There's just way too many fun and educational things to do. I've been reading some
great books, growing herbs and anything else I can keep alive in this 110 degree weather.
The kids have been learning to cook dinners and yummy desserts, they love it!
My plan is for them to love it so much they'll want to cook dinner every night. :)
We've all been focusing on our goals...
Soph's improved greatly in her speach and social skills and ditched diapers for good,
Kade's improved in his reading, math, cooking and brotherly skills,
and Jaxon has been reading several (7) books from the library, things like
How to Write Your First Best Seller.
He's determined to publish his first book and is currently working on his second. He's on a strict schedule...boot camp style, so he can be found writing or illustrating 24/7.
We all take turns on the treadmill, Soph loves to do yoga and pilates...she's a natural!
The circus came to town and we had a blast with my bff Chantell and her kids, my only
complaint is that she's already back to work...again with the more time thing.
I just LOVE spending time with her, maybe when we're retired we can live next door to each other!
On a sidenote: this is what I want for my birthday (it's not until Halloween).
A copy of Johanne Vermeer's 17th century painting Girl With The Pearl Earring.
Now for a week in Utah and then a week to prepare before our school year starts, I'm so sad for summer break to end, but anxious for another year of home schooling!
That is so cool that Jaxon wants to write a book. I need to get my kids motivated like that.
ReplyDeleteWe too have started weekly dinner menus where each child is in charge of the meal. They love helping with the preparation, buying and making it. Soo fun!
Well it sounds like you all have had a very productive and fun summer. That is awesome about them loving to cook. I have one that would love to be in the kitchen 24/7.
