Summer Fun with friends

We're having such a fun summer. Early June we had a end of school year celebration with our home school group. The theme was Hawaiian Luau. One of the home school moms is an amazing basket weaver! (One of those creative moms that I envy and wish I was).

She was guiding the kids in a weaving session. She had the kids practice with making a fish. This is my four year olds fish. She sat for a about 20 minutes trying the under, over, under over, and pinching the fish rope. It was hard and really designed for bigger kids but Sophie wanted to do one " all by myself." Here is a fun article on Hawaiian basket weaving. We may add this into our Fall school schedule, now that we have been introduced to the subject we want to master it! Or at least try!

Tabitha, my six year old really enjoyed the cookie decorating class and of course water play and outdoor activities!

Summer has begun! How did you start out this summer? Any activities planned or just running through the sprinklers?

Not so wordless but it is Wednesday! Visit 5 Minutes For Mom.com for more summer stories and fun family photos!

Yay for Sophie, she did a terrific job weaving that fish!

We decided to continue homeschooling through the summer this year, and take a vacation/break after the baby comes. It's working really well so far, so we might school year-round from now on, with breaks at different times. We're finding plenty to do and learn about, inside and out, that's for sure!
