Another week of summer has flown by. Here's a quick re-cap of last weeks events.
Monday we played "Cheese Head". The kids put shower caps on and I sprayed them with shaving cream. Then they had to try and fill each others heads with Cheetos. Tessa only lasted a few minutes before she gave up. She decided it was more fun to have Adam hold still and fill his cap with Cheetos.
Gwen did a good job of sneaking Cheetos out of the bag.
We had another week of swimming lessons. Gwen was not as easy this week as she was last week. She loves to make friends where ever we go.
Tuesday morning we had piano lessons and then we headed to the Library for Story Time. This weeks theme had something to do with Mad Scientists.
After the Library and a quick lunch, we headed to the movies to see the Legends of Oz. It was nice to be somewhere quiet for a while and thankfully, Gwen sat through the entire movie!
Having a big tub of popcorn all to herself helped with the sitting still.
We spent many more afternoons in the water. I love watching them just have fun!
Gwen is not a fan of the sprinklers, however. She just chills out in her car and eats popsicles.
Adam and Tessa have been working hard at earning the Brag Tags. They spent one afternoon making a skyscraper out of cardboard boxes for the Artistic Brag Tag. Each floor had a different theme.
We made musical instruments out of straws for their Music Brag Tag.
Wednesday, Mommy kind of needed a mental health day and kind of threw all of our planned activities out the window so I could chill out and "relax". But, by the afternoon I needed to do something useful and so I decided to teach Tessa how to make rolls. She did an amazing job!! She was so proud of herself.
We watched a lovely sunset on Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning-the reason why I needed a mental health day. I have no bed.
Early morning reading sessions in Adam's bed.
Thursday we had swimming lessons and Adam had Science Club and Mommy got to sneak away for a hair cut and then spent the evening with Aunt Dee who sewed curtains for the boys room. That meant a fun night with Daddy for the kids.
Adam gave a talk in church on Sunday. He worked on it throughout the week and wrote almost the entire thing by himself.
I'm a mean Mommy and still make the kids do some school work even though it's summer. They each have reading and writing time everyday.
Friday was our last day of swimming lessons and a play day for the kids. They got to spend their morning going down the water slide and jumping off the diving board. I was afraid neither kid would jump off the diving board, but they both did and they loved it!!
Gwen, on the other hand, was not having much fun watching everyone else having fun. We got a good 30 minute fit out of her. That was a blast...
They both passed their class and get to move on next year!
Friday afternoon we spend driving around town collecting their Brag Tags.
We needed a little Sonic summer pick-me-up. Mommy got a few tastes of her drink before Gwen stole it.
Saturday we surprised the kids with a trip to the Dinosaur Park up in Ogden. More about that in another post.
Sunday was Father's Day and we had a low key day with our favorite Daddy. We went to church, Adam gave a great talk, Mommy made a yummy dinner and the boys cheered on the Spurs as they watched the final game in the play-offs.
We are so thankful for Eric and the wonderful father he is. These are some lucky kids to have such a great Daddy!
