day 6 of summer

Day #6:  Thursday, May 29

Confession:  During our very week of our summer, I already changed around our summer schedule...the schedule is there to kind of keep us on track and getting in all the stuff we want to do this summer, but it is made to be flexible!

So really instead of Throw Together Thursday yesterday where we were supposed to do activities at home, we had more of a Fresh & Fun Thursday.

We were supposed to start our day off with strawberry picking at a local farm.  However, after being closed down for two days for re-ripening and only being open for an hour that morning, they were already picked out!  Bummer, we will try again soon, hopefully. 

 Therefore, with our lunches already packed and since we were already out of the house we headed to a park to play and eat lunch with our friends.   It is already too hot around here and its only May!  It was quite a sweaty time until we found some shade to play in.

{Disclaimer:  I am letting the kids do a free-for-all on what they wear each day this summer (except maybe church days) so they will NOT match and you will see them in the same clothes frequently...just letting you know this is not my doing ;)}

One of the kiddos choices for what they wanted to do this week was to go shopping to spend some of their allowance money.  We went two stores with the boys...that was two stores too many with Mr. Evan...oh boy he is NOT fun to shop with!!!

{Look closely, that is Evan behind Avery still trying to decide what he wanted to buy...}

After too much shopping we headed home and made some energy balls.

And the kiddos worked on some of their crafts they purchased. 

Avery helped Ellie color her wooden dress up doll.

I think you can tell you colored the actual doll :)...

Then we made some bouncy balls with Evan's purchase.  This was actually pretty cool!

They really do bounce!
