Moments to Remember From the Week of July 15th, 2012

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember.

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

Tabitha and Amelia were working nicely together to create a magnetic mosaic picture. I can't wait to share the review/Sponsor Spotlight for this. We are spending an awful lot of time checking out these greats products that are going to be a part of the Back to Preschool Blast.

We also got to review a couple of Rock 'N Learn DVD's. They watched Dance with the Animals when their friend spent the night a couple of days ago. 

Miss Hannah is such a big helper, getting the sponge all by herself and cleaning the table!

Summer reading program is coming to an end. This week we had a party at the librarians home.

Love to see the love of reading and books, especially when they are reading to each other.

I gave Hannah the pipe cleaner/beads tray and was shocked that she could match the colors so well. She put a yellow bead on the purple pipe cleaner, realized her mistake and fixed it right away.

We found the Leap Frog Fridge magnets and Hannah got to learn new songs besides the ABC song it will play without any magnets in it. She loves dancing to it.

And here is our outer space muffin tin

Summer seems to be play time, run around the sprinkler time, and summer reading program time.  So, here are some photos from this week's Summer Reading Programs.

The girls were so happy to get their bears back from Bear Camp. They were all waiting there for their mommies and daddies to get them.

They had name tags and bandannas 

The girls had just about been counting down the days til they could see there friends.

This week the children got to learn a little about astronomy and our solar system.

I did not get any pictures, but someone had made star shaped cookies for snack.

When we got home the girls spent quite a bit of time with their friends.

Tabitha was reading to April Bear

Amelia was taking Orange for a ride.

On Friday we went to the other library to exchange books and spin for prizes.

Returning books

Checking in

Spinning to see how many books they get to take out.

Summer Fun Week of June 25th 2012

This week was very busy. We had our second week of Summer Reading Program in town. The girls got to go to Vacation Bible School across the street from the church where we go to playgroup. And, it was the first week of Summer Reading Program where we go to Story time.
Daddy actually took the girls Tues and Wednesday to VBS, then I took them Thurs and Fri. Amelia had a little trouble remembering and reciting the verses, but she improved by the end of the week. Here are some pictures from there recreation time. Baby Harold and I had taken a walk yesterday and they were outside when we came back.

Don't worry, she was "tagged" by the ball and had to wait to get unfrozen.

Then today I took a walk with Baby Harold and Hannah. Hannah had to walk because our double stroller that would fit the car seat will not fold up to be put in the trunk. It took a while to get around town, but we had fun. When we got to the little playground I couldn't just walk on by. Hannah saw the slides and said, "slide" so slide she did. Fortunately, Harold was asleep. 

Today was the last day and they had a closing program and a picnic. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. 

As I mentioned, we are also involved with 2 summer reading programs this year. Like last year we get to go to the one and they spin the wheel to find out how many books they need to take out and then they spin for a small prize (yay, more clutter). Then we go to the summer reading program in town where we take our Reading Logs in which we recorded how long we read during the week. This is where the books from the other program come in handy. Each hour of reading gets the girls a dollar (fake, of course). They then save it up until they have enough to buy something from the Program Store. I think the lowest priced item was $7. We also count the time Tabitha reads to me or her sisters. 

This library's program is on Thursday and there is a craft involved and a book read, plus snack of course. Here are some pictures of the girls making there Fireflies this week.

And they are having Bear Camp this week. The children were to bring a stuffed animal friend to the library. The animals got little name tags and get to stay the week. When we pick them up next week we will also get pictures of what the animals did all week. The assistant librarian came up with the idea. I think it is so cute. Unfortunately Tabitha had some separation anxiety. However, I will say I haven't heard her say anything about missing April Bear since Thursday.

Hear are April and Orange getting ready to go:

Oops they need to be safe:
