Recipes?

This is what happens when you turn your back on your zucchini plants.

Ugh. I think I need to look for a zucchini cookbook or make one for myself.

Summer Fun at the Library? You Betcha!

Okay- it has been a while...

But we have been having a lot of fun this summer. Our most frequent stop this summer has been the library. I love all of the free programs they have. Both of the kids are in book clubs. They are given a book and then have 2 weeks to read it before their meeting. At the meetings they are given a snack and then discuss the book for nearly an hour. They are loving it! Jenna was so excited that she was old enough to do this now. I love having kids that love to read.
We have stocked up on audio books also. I like to listen to audio books because they help me get things done while enjoying a good story. The kids are having a hard time being productive while listening (sending them to their room to clean while listening to a story has not been very successful.) But they have gone through a lot of books. I had meant to keep track of that this summer but I am afraid it is too late now.

We are also reading the Fablehaven series together. It is fun to find a book series that both kids enjoy. Books, Books, Books.

But the library is more fun than just books. There are a lot of free classes and activities that they have also. But we had to be quick to sign up for them. They tend to fill up quickly.

So far this summer the Jenna has attended two art classes and next week she has a Yoga class. Here is a photo of her Medieval Art project.



Today Spencer really enjoyed his giant chess activity. Normally they have an even larger chess set but the company they rented it from goofed and they got two smaller sizes instead. They were still pretty big.





Next week Spencer has a Duct Tape class. That should be a hit too.
