Weekend
Went to Point Lobos and explored tide pools. Did a lot of hiking and saw parts of Point Lobos we've never been to before.
Tommy was brave and let a tiny crab crawl on his hand. Mark caught a large crab and Tommy handled that as well.
Monday
Memorial Day. Went to our church BBQ and the boys played with their friends.
In the evening we had a picnic with family and the boys played with their cousins.
Tuesday
Playdate with a little friend for Lucy at my house
Tommy made fortune cookies (he mixed the ingredients and I formed them).
We listened to Story of the World during lunchtime, about mummies and King Tut. After lunch we watched a
documentary about mummies on Netflix.
Went for a walk around town.
Tommy asked to make bread, so we mixed the dough. Will bake tomorrow.
Wednesday
Tommy baked 4 loaves of bread, mostly on his own.
Piano lessons.
First day of Taekwondo, which the boys absolutely loved. (Tommy has been asking to take martial arts for over a year now). They are counting down the day until they can go back.
I went to the library with Lucy to pick out books for the boys. I found several comic book-style books, called
Toon Books, that Ben likes, and lots of science books for Tommy. They must have liked what I got, because for the rest of the week I would find them huddled over one of their new books.
Thursday
Went to an end-of-schooyear party at a friend's house.
Finished our Thomas Edison biography. The boys are very interested in learning more about his inventions, so we are going to look up some YouTube videos to find out more.
Friday
Watched Mythbusters with Tommy, an episode involving car subwoofers (and shotguns, but that's not relevant...) He became very interested in how subwoofers work, so we watched a few YouTube videos about that.
Impromptu summer party at our house with some homeschool friends. Lots of water balloon fights, slip 'n slide, bubbles, and popsicles.
Found the boys reading books on their own a lot today!
