Summer List

Make a paper airplane


We folded and colored airplanes for our art project today.
I taped a line on the carpet which the kids stood behind and took turns throwing and trying to beat their personal best. My Alex ended up almost to the loveseat. Alex P's personal best was about two inches behind that. Chase threw just over two feet past the line and Josh about a foot and a half. Tyler tried really hard but just didn't understand the concept :)

Read a chapter book

We started reading the Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain today. It was the most manly book I could find in a sea of Charlotte's Web, The Littlest Princess and other chapter books saved from my childhood. I have quite a collection of Goosbumps but they're not quite big enough for those gems. The boys fell asleep a little sooner than normal when I was reading. No pictures of Arthur, Clifford or the Bernstein Bears to keep them awake, I suppose.
