Summer happenings

This summer I have ready several learning and fun activities I want to do with the girls. I am wanting to be intentional with our time at home. Not just sit them in front of videos after hours of trying to ignore them. Unfortunately, I know I have done that :( Not this summer! Here are a list of the things I have ready.

  • Watch, weed, water, eat of the vegetable garden - working on together :)
  • Go to the zoo, regularly - started
  • Swim - big pool twice all ready & bought slip and slide
  • Study about God - going through devotions with them
  • Teach Stella to write her name - working on it
  • Teach Naomi cursive writing - started
  • Work on telling time
  • Go through how to draw animals/cars books with them
  • Read aloud Laura Ingalls Wilder book set - on book two "Farmer Boy"
  • Read "The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe"
  • Play board games and other learning games - One Candy Land and Fishing game done :)
  • Find a favorite Bible verse for our family
  • Make stepping stones - gathering supplies
  • Paint canvases - 1/2 done
  • Some math if Naomi's up for it
  • Help Ava learn to walk
  • Encourage Ava in talking
  • Read to Ava daily - in process
  • Have Naomi read aloud

Wow! I love the list. You read books that have all these great ideas but never know how you're going to accomplish all of it.

I sent out a prayer that you can accomplish all of it.

Oh! And how about killing two birds with one stone by having Naomi read to Ava?
