We have been working towards building up the community in the school and one of our ways of doing that is having a couple of room moms per grade. Courtney and I are taking on 3rd grade this year and Courtney was willing to host the first get-together at her place. We loved getting to meet a few of the new moms and just having chat time while the kids had fun swimming!

We hadn't planned to go this year but because the kids earned passes through the reading program we decided to add it to our list. They had a great time! Their favorite was the lazy "crazy" river. I went around with them multiple times but they went a few times on their own too. They didn't love the bigger slides because the line was not worth it in their opinion. :)
DatesBrad took Lorelei out for lunch at Jersey Mikes and then to a pet store where she was able to pet some bunnies and play with the cats. Makin and I headed for our "breakfast dessert" at Krispe Kreme.
This week I worked on not over-booking us, so I it looks like a good chance to fill you in on our summer school routine! The kids are working on math facts and reading. We do our school work M-F and it typically takes under an hour. They both work on their wrap ups and then take a timed test. We are focusing on improving our time each day. The first few weeks went really well, and then the math got a little harder so we are working hard on not getting discouraged and just improving! Lorelei is content with lots of reading and Makin usually just hits his 15-20 minutes. :) They are also both writing once a week, which we just fit in on a day that we have less going on. Proud of all of us for working hard even though it is tricky to fit in before so much summer fun!
Coach Andy decided after running in the Texas heat for 45 minutes the kids needed to cool off with a water fight. So fun!
SO. GOOD.
