Wordless Wednesday: August 14, 2019 (w/linky) - End of Summer Reading Program Parties

Summer Reading actually ended a couple of weeks ago, but I had to share the pictures from the children going to camp, so I put this post off a week. Our local Summer Reading program party was Wednesday, July 31st, and the Summer Reading program we go to in the nearest town with a library was Friday, August 2nd.

On Wednesday, we headed over to the park for the party. The children finished spending their summer reading dollars, chose their last free book, and then we got to have pizza and sundaes. Then the children and I played with Harold's plane, which he had "bought" with summer reading dollars earlier in the month.

Sadly the plane broke when Harold grabbed it too tightly while catching it.

When we got home they wanted to use some of their new things.

Two days later we had our other party.

First they got to disintegrate alien heads.

Then we ate. Again, pizza, but this time there were also chips and cookies. Then the kids got ice cream sandwiches.

One of the games was Ring the Planet. The planets would be the balls in the background. I don't think daddy quite understood how to play. LOL!

Ah, now he's got it!

No hubby! No!

Another activity was attempting to work on nuts and bolts while wearing gloves, like astronauts would have to do.

And they could make necklaces if they wanted to. Harold decided to make an alien.

Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.

No button currently, and there won't be one until I can figure it out seeing as Photobucket has changed things. Feel free to still share the picture in place of the button on your Wordless Wednesday post or in a list of Wordless Wednesday linkies. Just link it to my Wordless Wednesday permalink please.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Moments to Remember From the Week of July 1st, 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.

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:

Getting out at "camp."
