The summer "to-do list" .....

.....is not done.  The three things on my list for the last three days of school are not finished.  But to not focus on what is un-done, I will share with you what has happened!

The first two days of no-school were lazy, lazy and more lazy. Lots of time in pajamas and lots of screen time.  Yep I said it: Lots of screen time.  We sat and snuggled on the sofa for hours with our laptops, TV shows, Ipad and games.  It was lovely. 

The next week was VBS and full of learning, playdates and swimming. 

Next came baseball, with the start of an intense three weeks of practice for All Stars for the local 9-10 year old team. 

 

Baseball is every day right now, and we are loving every minute of great teammates, great coaches, and fun parents to spend the time with as they practice and play. 

Last week, on top of baseball, C spent the mornings at college! Our local community college sponsored a "College4Kids" program and he had a great time.  His class was making a Lego stop-action film using Frames5 software and a computer camera.  They built the sets, wrote the story line and finished filming their pieces in five days.  They learned what is good stop action as well as what constitutes "bloopers" and other mistakes.  Technology and creativity converged into a fun, interesting and educational week.

A very official certificate with the State seal proves he finished his first college class!  If only my college classes had been as fun and included Legos.....

And at the end of it all? Yep, boys do still get tired, and their puppies do express that they missed them.
