Wow! What a great summer and lots of fun. Too bad it ended so quickly. Here is a recap of many of the things we did to pass the time. WARNING: THERE ARE A LOT OF PICTURES AND IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
One of our favorite highlights was our very own 'Summer School.' Now with such a fancy name you may be thinking, "Wow, that sounds pretty amazing." Or "How did they have time for that?" Well, before you go on thinking such high thoughts, this summer school was lots of fun and very low key. We did it a few times a week during Christine's morning nap. It was fun to mostly read books, (they each got to pick one each time) do an activity or craft, and do some literacy or math games I pulled out from my teaching boxes. The girls really enjoyed it and I loved having a special time with them. Here are a few shots of it.

Add some food coloring to milk, paint the bread and toast it. Yummy! |
