Week 9 of Summer vacation!

This week was a trying one, well part of it anyway. Monday we spent the day cleaning up and doing laundry after getting back from 8 days of camping. It wasn't really cleaned up till Wed. Well the house anyway. Laundry was done Monday. I had signed the older 3 kids up for a water color class at the beginning of the summer that was for this week. They had so much fun and learned a lot. While they were painting each day Hayden and I went to the park or wandered the dollar store. One day we even got an ice cream. She was so good about not getting to take the class. She never even asked why she didn't get to go. The end of the week was rough just because I wanted bed rooms cleaned up before they left for grandma camp. Some how this was a unrealistic expectation... Anyway the job did get done and now (Sunday afternoon) they are on their way their now! Daddy is doing the drop off so I can stay home for a baptism. Thanks Grandma! Next week I will post pictures of all the fun they had!
i am also going to have fun crafting away and spending one on one time with my Baby Ruth! Which she is already demanding!
This one is Ethan's. He painted a volcano, and trees. I loved that he tried to use all the techniques she taught them.

This one is Brock's painting of Dotty, our dog.

This one is Amelia's. It is her polka dotty horse. I love her night sky with the stars in it!.

2nd week of Summer vacation

This was a busy but oh so fun filled week! Monday Ethan started soccer camp and I took the other kids grocery shopping, Tuesday I took the YW to Girls camp and my friend Lindy took Ethan to soccer camp with her kids, and took Brock and Amelia to their first day of Teeny Tiny class, and then I met them at the park, we had a picnic and then went swimming! Wed I took kids to their stuff, and shopped at Old Navy with my long over due Birthday shopping, then we did picnic and swimming again after classes. Thursday after classes we came home and I let them swim at home while I packed and we left for Prineville that evening. That will be on my next post.
Brock proved to me he could swim better then I thought and enjoyed going down the slide over and over!

I am writing this post a little backwards, (as I am not able to move my pictures!!!!) Anyway Each day when the kids were done with their camp activities we would go to the pool to cool off. It was so much fun! Hayden has gotten a little more comfortable in the water.

Brock's Teeny Tiny story included a Dinosaur (surprise surprise!) a little boy, a tree, a stove, and a tiny pot. He just loved this class and had a wonderful time!!!

I signed Brock and Amelia up for a Teeny Tiny art class. They LOVED it!!! They each were to pick a box and make teeny tiny things to make a story with. Then they were to paint the story on their box. Amelia's was a picnic story. She loves this tiny picnic basket. She made this cute little girl, picnic blanket, watermelon, cherries, and cheese. SO CUTE!


Ethan did a soccer camp and had so much fun! Each day when he was done he was sweating buckets and ready to swim! He won a trophy at the end of the week for "camper of the week" They said it was for having a good attitude, helping others, and working hard!
