Having spent far too long lazying away the summer, I have decided that since it was essentially my last real summer with the kids before I would have to be working full time, that I really needed to make it worthwhile! So today, I got up early and got the kids rounded up into the car. First we headed to the library where we all got new library cards. The kids each found four books and we decided that this is something that we could do each week! Next we stopped at Hobby Lobby where we picked up watercolors, brushes, and watercolor paper so that we could try our hands at PAINTING! Then we headed to wal-mart for some groceries! We came home, made some lunch, cleaned up (and let the kids put away the dishes 
and headed outside to enjoy nature and PAINT! Michael was inspired to paint some of his new Pokemons 
while Audrey was inspired by the nature around her 
Here is some of Michael’s work…
Audrey’s work…
and my first shot at painting…
After we were done painting, we pulled out our yard games and decided to play some Horseshoes…
After dinner at Drew and Erin’s, both kids settled into bed to read their library books…
Michael reading his Snoopy book…
Audrey reading one of her Arthur books…
More nice pictures. I’m so glad I found that shirt! It looks so pretty on Audrey! Way to go, you get the good Mommy award for today.
WAY TO GO! The kids are clearly so happy and it is awesome that they will have so many wonderful memories of the summer they spent hanging with their mom. ANND you let them put away the dishes. ANND can I say that the picture of audrey coloring and the one of michael playing are both frameable. Awesome artwork, BTW!
