Cannon had his last day of soccer. He sure has improved--from last summer to this summer and from the start of the summer until currently. He is kicking harder, dribbling better, more sure of himself, and seems to show some qualities of a leader and is having fun!
Colson is definitely a strong willed child! For the most part, he is a great toddler who plays quietly by himself and also loves to play alongside Cannon. He usually goes with the flow, however there are moments when he gets upset....and watch out! He'll throw things, push things off the table (or where ever he is at) and yell and scream. It's quite a sight. Something we're hoping to curtail very quickly!
I love that books are a huge hit in our house. There are baskets of books in almost every room of the house and we often just stop what we are doing and grab some books to read.
The classroom is coming along. I've been spending a couple of hours almost daily this week or so getting things put together and will continue to do that until the start of school. I'm working on putting up borders around bulletin boards, getting my calendar area organized, finishing the board that will have the targets for each subject, working on the reading area, laminating the helper chart, setting things out for table groups, preparing opening letters and paperwork, planning, etc. Things get accomplished daily. I figure the important things will get done! The rest will come later...or not!
Chris has been hard at work each day on side projects and the jet boat. Hard at work on the side projects because that money will pay for the upholstery on the jet boat! The four seats and side panels are being upholstered and should be ready to go by the second week of September for Mardon.
The house kind of stays picked up. The laundry is never caught up. The bonus room is a mess with all of my school stuff. Dinners are sometimes planned and sometimes not. The car desperately needs to be vacuumed out. I have 6 magazines to read, which may not happen any time soon since I am fully immersed in reading curriculum. I guess that is all typical. Life is happening!
Reading...
Attempting the rock wall at the park.
Being an 'observer' at the park.
A cricket we found in the pool.
Last day of soccer!
Enjoying every moment.
