First Day of Summer

Today was my first official day off for summer break. The kids and I had a very busy day. A friend of ours Alisha is giving Logan and Siah swimming lessons at her apartment pool. After that we went to Chick Fil A for the new spicy chicken sandwich and to see the fire truck. Rikki and Rachel joined us. Silly me didn't take any pics of the swimming lesson today or of Logan, Siah, and Rachel. Here's big boy Lucas at Chick Fil A.

Here's Heather and baby Grayson (Siah's mommy and little brother).

After Chick Fil A, we went home for quiet time. Lucas decided he would climb up in his toy basket and sit on his toys. This also made it easier for him to get the wood chips from the plant sitting on that end of the fireplace.

After quiet time, Logan and I made ice cream in a bag using whole milk, vanilla, sugar, ice, and salt.

Then Logan and I had school time. We counted and graphed the number of letters in our family's names. We read The Secret Birthday Message by Eric Carle and talked about the shapes and colors in the book. Then Logan decorated his name using macaroni.

After dinner, we ate the ice cream we made. Logan loved it and was so proud of himself for making it.
