First Week of Summer

This was our first official week of "summer vacation."  I have tried to keep the kids busy.  I have learned one thing... 3 small kids + lots of free time = lots of fighting.  We have read all of our library books and made a trip to the library for more.  The boys' attention span is improving so the reading is getting a little easier.  Abby is able to read some of their books to them.  They love this (and so do I).  We have played with play doh and made letters, cookies, sandwiches, etc.  It's amazing what their little minds come up with to make out of play doh.  We had water day with the little pool and water table.  They loved this and it wore them out. They have really enjoyed their playground and sandbox.  This is the first year that I can actually do a little yard work while they play.  We went to Chic Fil A for lunch one day.  They love playing on the playground there.  We  can usually count on running into some school friends there.  The boys played with their best buddy that day and Abby played with a couple of her ballet friends.  Mommy had a peaceful lunch and talked to adults!  Woohoo!!!  We have even managed to sneak in a little "school."  Abby is working on a summer journal and a workbook to get her ready for 1st grade.  I'm working with the boys on their  name and improving their fine motor skills. On Wednesday night we had movie and popcorn night.  These kids love their popcorn.  We watched Tangled and it was a big hit.  There's a lot of talk around here about the upcoming Cars 2 movie coming out soon.  Nathan and Noah can't wait to go to the big "movies" and see it on the big screen.  It will be their first movie. With Daddy being out of town for 2 days this week, this is one tired mommy.  As I write this, I realize that we did manage to pack a lot in this week.  We are looking forward to a long weekend with Daddy home.
