June Highlights

Here are a few photos of some fun and eventful moments in the month of June. 

Jake finished his first year of school.  He loved it and can't wait to go back this fall.  

Then there was Father's Day.  We spent Father's day at my parents house.  The girls painted Father's Day signs for Chris and my dad.  

Then we celebrated with S'mores after dinner.  My kids love making S'mores at my parents house.  Who wouldn't with the wall of fire!

 And Graham just liked eating the marshmallows.  He kept sneaking them and eating them.

And I loved this picture of Jake with his grandpa.  

We went to the fish hatchery with our good friends.  The kids loved looking and feeding the millions of fish.  They were so many fish and the kids loved every minute of it.

Now that summer is here, it is time to set up some organization to keep the kids busy with constructive things.  Here is the chore chart that the kids are using.  They love it and it has been working great!  I got the cute magnets from Cucumber Lime.

I also set up the reading incentive again this year.  For every 30 pages Hannah reads, she gets to pick a number and if she chooses the correct number, she gets $10.

Lastly, I had a great plan to do something different each day.  Like Make it Monday (craft project day) or Fun to Read Friday (go to the library), but after a week of summer I realized I don't want that much structure.  I have 10 weeks of not "running around with my head cut off" and I am going to enjoy every minute of it and not adhere to a schedule.   So, that kind of didn't last... but it seemed like a good idea :-)
