More July Fun

We're in our 5th week of schooling at home, and so far I've been encouraged by how the girls have responded and how it has fit into (and helpfully restructured, in some ways) our days. Here's AG writing letters in cornmeal...a fun alternative to pencil and paper!


Our sweet friend and occasional babysitter, K, has accompanied us to the (free summer kids') movies twice in the last month! First we saw Kitt Kittredge and then the Veggie Tales pirate movie. The girls actually all made it through both, and since it's a theater full of kids (and babies) and parents with no financial investment in the experience, the occasional commentary from SJ fit right in! We all love getting to hang out with K!


PopPop and Gran came to visit on the 4th of July. We spent the morning playing around the house and doing some reading...



and that night we went downtown to watch the fireworks over the river. The show was worth a pretty long walk and the heat!
