T-Ball Team Photos

Marce's last T-Ball game was today! This season went by fast. This is the last week of school also and I can't believe Marce will only be in 1st grade this next year. He always seems so much older to me but I'm grateful he's not! I still have so many things to teach him. He will be excited to eat lunch at school with his Clone Wars lunch box! The boys are all signed up for swim lessons and we plan on doing a lot of swimming this summer! It's very important to me that my kids learn how to swim right and have plenty of experiences. I never was good swimming underwater or with breath control but I am an excellent above water swimmer. I can tread water for a really long time. The most important thing is that they can keep themselves safe in the water. So far they are signed up for one session but I think we will be adding to that throughout the summer. On our Summer Schedule we have Math (Marce's online program), reading, and a bit of writing. We have iPad education, and the Friend magazine. Nintendo days are Wednesday and Saturday. We have WORK, new chores to be taught and added. We are teaching Phoenix how to unload the dishes. I'm hoping he has it down by the end of the summer because I want to get Marce started on the washing part. Both boys are not just going to be putting their clothes away, but they will learn how to sort and fold all the clothes. I know I can do this one much faster than them but I have to make myself teach them to do it. So they will have more chores added this summer. I am planning on planting a winter garden with a friend and they will be helping with that as well. I want my kids to know something about gardening and growing. Making our own things, being self reliant. I'm going to have them help me with some dinners and learn some things about cooking and the kitchen. We're going to also bake some goodies and of course bread! They LOVE to help in the kitchen and I feel like summer is the perfect time to let them! I'm also going to teach the kids to play more games. We don't play our games nearly as much as we should. We have plenty of games they can play and we're breaking them out this summer and playing together. Summer is also the time to play with those toys you don't get out every day, like Play Doh, Easy Bake Oven, and little Lego sets...we're going to play a little with these kinds of things. We plan on spending a good amount of time at the Logandale pool so it looks like our summer is jam packed! We haven't planned any trips or anything so we'll play it by ear on that I guess. We hope you all have a fun and safe summer!
