Dunkin stop

Shecklet #2 has been at b-ball camp this week. As a mini treat for the other 3, we stopped for donuts after dropping #2 off for his last day.

Crafty afternoon

We perused Pinterest this morning and the Shecklets found a few crafts that they wanted to try. The girls decided to decorate styrofoam trees with buttons and sequins (something I also did as a kid.) Shecklet #2 gave making a wire-frame mummy a try.

Sorting the school year

Day 2 of summer break. Time to go through papers and projects from the school year. It is so much easier now that the kids can do the initial sort on their own. Then mom has an easier time with round two.

1000 pieces!

Our friend, Michelle, gave us a puzzle to try to put together. After a couple of weeks of working with the boys, we finished it!

Wax Museum 2018

Shecklet #2 participated in this year’s wax museum at school. He chose James Spangler, who invented the first motorized vacuum. The kids created “buttons” that visitors pushed to “activate” the kids to tell about who they were – complete with costumes and props to look like they were a wax museum statue.

Intersession 2018

The big Shecklets are off of school this week (because we opted to not sign them up for intersession classes this year.) Today we had a hand appointment for Shecklet #3, went to the park (until three bus loads of kids showed up,) and then went to MOA to ride some rides and go to the American Girl store.
