Chillin' at the Cr8tive cave:

Baking day: Homemade Apple Cinnamon muffins
Happy 6th Bday Shane (5.27)
Happy 1st Bday Carly (6.2)
Happy 5th Bday Matt (6.8)
Rainy Day: Snowball Toss
Summer Readers: Kenz and Shane (now that he's a professional reader...lol) are being sooo competitive....but it just benefits them more! They have to read (and keep a log of) a certain amount of books. Each time we go to the library they submit their list and they get a goody bag and a raffle ticket for end of program drawing (we haven't been told what that prize is....a book? :P) Even Gavin gets to participate. This is great cause it gets us out and keeps the older kids reading and gets the younger ones interested. Now, I wish I liked books! LOL! Because of them, I have taken the lead and have started reading...just not as competitively....I cant sit in one spot and do just one thing very often.....even if I wasnt taking care of these kidz. Anyway, you should check out your local library...they probably do the same thing!
Making GOOP: Esc Comm Cntr/Library (BTW: goop didnt last long...and Im okay with that)
Pet Rocks: My favorite! (They were all great but, never seen Gavin so creative....I didnt help one bit!). Check out their creations.....from top left (of rock pic): Mackenzie, Matt, Gavin, Shane
Crazy Hair Day/Bookmark Making/Story-time
I know, some of you may be wondering: "Hey, what about Carly and Melanie?" Well, they come too, but sit on the sidelines with me and watch their awesome siblings and friends. I think they are taking mental notes :) Here they are doin' their thang while the others are busy getting Cr8tive!
Bye for now. Working on next post right now.......
