I feel like we've been so lazy this summer! In a good way of course. Except I don't feel like I've gotten anything accomplished with decorating the house or next year's preschool classes. But I have to remember that I am spending time with the kids and that is definitely accomplishing something! We are loving our fairly calm days with lots of playing, summer movies, swimming lessons, and piano lessons. We've also been working hard learning new chores and keeping up our school skills with a bit of learning time. They are earning summer points from me for chores, school work, and other skills I want them to work on (like memorizing an article of faith, tying shoes, and folding laundry, etc.)
We haven't really done any structured projects. Every time I think we should, I hear my girls playing restaurant, wedding or some made up game and I feel like them using their imagination is more important than a guided project from me! My amazing friend Torrie is a great example to me of letting her kids PLAY and CREATE instead of interfering to teach them how to play and create!! :) So far we haven't had any 'I'm bored' days but if we do I'll be sure to have something fun for them to do. Anna has started really joining in at playtime and it's funny to see all three of them laughing and playing.
Daddy loves goldfish and Anna loves to share!

I know this will make my parents and Jessica laugh as much as David did....she is MY daughter!

That is me laughing! As soon as I saw it, before I read the line below, I was cracking up! Why sit through a meal without a book?
