"Summer Fun"

Allen, Wesley and Ashley with their Summer Fun teachers.

Allen and his Summer Friend-J.J.

This summer we found the most amazing summer school program for the kids. They were separated into groups not by age, or grade, but so that there was an assortment of each in every group. The groups rotated through each of five teachers everyday of the week.
Mrs McGruder taught Computers. Ms Lee taught cooking. Mrs Martinez taught us about our bodies. Ms Morelos directed our Reader's Theater. Mrs Uttergaurd taught us exercise.
They had a blast and are excited to go again next summer. Madison is especially excited since she will be old enough to go next summer!

Crafty

A friend asked me to figure out a card she had seen a picture of. I thought it looked more complicated than it actually was! Here is the result...

Family Craft Day

So we have been doing craft day on the first Saturday of every month with all of the Roussel girls for almost a year. It is a blast. We craft (obviously) chat and usually eat. I love Americana (duh) so I volunteered to be in charge of July's craft. This is what we made:

Side one

Side two

Just simple table decorations...and we may have spent more time playing with vintage buttons, than actually crafting, but we have fun and we get to be together! I'm so excited for out next craft day, September 5th! See you all there!
