It's Summer Time

This is the first time the summer feels different from our day to day. We have been busy participating in things we do not do during the school year. It has really been fun and busy! Our local movie theaters (the Rave theaters) offer free kid movies on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. On this past Tuesday we enjoyed watching Charlotte's Web. After our encounter with the critters the week before, HC and JB really enjoyed seeing spiders and webs. I couldn't resist taking a picture of HC in a theater chair - she and JB often folded up with the chair and before we know it.... they will be too big to fold up. I had to sneak a picture of JB because he was not interested in posing.
Another fun thing we've done this summer is join in the library's summer reading program. This was the last day of the program and we had sno cones and the kids received gift bags.
Can anyone say blue mouths?? We had blue sno cone everywhere!
Here were the goodies HC and JB went home with! The best part - they had fun reading books!

In fact, our last trip to the library JB found a baseball book and a dinosaur book that he wants to keep. He keeps showing me books he wants to trade with them. He thinks he can give the library the books he is tired of and keep these new treasures! I just love that he is interested in books! That is the first step in learning.

Your busy summer sounds very much like ours! =) We've been doing the Rave movie thing on Wednesdays though and the library reading program on Thursdays. Our last storytime trip to the library will be next week. I'm so sad that the summer reading program is over.

I miss you guys! Maybe one day I will get to see you again! Are you doing Mom's Notes in the fall?
