Brooke asked if she could sleep in the tent overnight.  They had both slept in their rooms in their sleeping bag before but not in the playroom.  It was the first time they slept in the tent and in the playroom together.  They had fun and were both excited to wake up in the tent the next morning.  Summer fun!

Since the kids are out of school we have been doing summer school.  We started off by making the cool crafts that are hanging above the table..  They each have a workbook: Alex’s is tracing, Brooke’s is sight-words reading and writing.  Then they have flash cards: ABC for Alex, sight-words for Brooke (also telling time- she loves that one).  We do crafts and Alex works on letter printing and Brooke writes paragraphs and draws pictures for her stories. We have been trying to do it a few days a week and they have been having a lot of fun doing it!

Brooke and Alex had their last summer camp this week: S’mores and Outdoors Camp.  They had a lot of fun playing with outdoor things like tents and kayaks and having pretend fires and horse rides.  They went on a bear hunt and at the end of the week they had time with some outdoor animals!

I sure do have some cute helpers to cook dinner!

This week the kiddos got to attend story camp.  They had fun living out different classic stories throughout the week like the Three Little Pigs and Jack and the Beanstalk.  They even planted beans and got magic stalks the next day.  Also there was a lot of fun with fairies and Brooke enjoyed being a fairy and they both built fairy houses to bring home.  They even got to meet some royal figures.  A big thank you to Oma for taking the kiddos to the rest of this camp so we could travel to NYC.
