We finished our school year days ahead of the schedule I set for us. Sterling actually finished almost a month before! She's my motivated one to have less to do. She'll work ahead and get it done. She's a bit like me 😊. Xander now, he's going to continue one lesson every day until he's done. Which is fine, but I'd really prefer him to add extra lessons to get ahead and be done sooner. Well, on May 1st he decided to keep going (he didn't even have a lot left to complete). I made a huge deal out of him finishing all of his work. Hopefully next year he'll be motivated to work ahead 🤞.
We've been out finding new hiking/walking spots. This one we found may be a favorite summer spot because the kids can play in the water on a hot day.
We went to the Air and Space Museum. The last time we went here, the kids were 4 and 5. This time, they were interested and could talk about how the planes were used in different wars. It was a pretty cool trip this time (although it was warm in the building).
Sterling and I love getting out of the house. We just don't enjoy the hour drive to get anywhere. But we left early before her hair appointment and had lunch and went shopping. Always a girls favorite thing to do.
The kids have spent everyday, at least two hours, outside playing in the sprinkler and throwing water balloons at each other. We're going back and forth about adding a pool. In ground vs above ground is where we're struggling.
7th and 8th grade, we're ready for you. The work is getting more challenging, but, they will prevail!
Have a great weekend!
