We've had a fun packed two weeks with another Daddy vacation, swimming lessons, friends and the start of a new dance class!
Katie started her second year of swim lessons. She begged for goggles so she got a new pair (and of course Audrey did, too).
Audrey and I hung out in the shade during Katie's lessons. She ended up making friends with a sweet little girl her age so they got to play together every day which was so nice.
Our milkweed is covered in aphids and ladybugs. The girls caught a ladybug and then used a paintbrush to collect some aphids to feed it.
Katie and I completed our first chapter book read-aloud, The BGF!
They had a water painting wall....
...beautiful ponds...
Sweet friends.
Friday we met a group of our CC friends at the discovery center. It was so awesome! The girls loved exploring all around the center with their friends.
Giant building blocks.
Giant lightbright.
Katie created blades to make a fan. Then she tried out her creation to see how fast she could make it spin.
After a week off for Daddy's vacation we got back to work on school. Usually we were able to get our work done before swimming lessons.
One of our math lessons this week had the kids making a graph of their pets.
Katie picked out our next chapter read-aloud, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle!
Audrey has fun with painting too but, she's usually done with it way before Katie.
Katie started a summer dance class at a new studio. Each week she gets to dress up differently and dance to themed music. This week the theme was Beach Party so she got to wear her bathing suit. Next week she gets to wear her pj's!
Papa came over Thursday for pizza and some time with the girls. They begged him to read "just one more story". He ended up reading 6!
Audrey is fearless in the water and does a great job swimming around the pool in her lifejacket.
Katie reached a big accomplishment in her swimming this year...she went underwater and swam across the pool!
Saturday morning Rich and I were inside making breakfast while the kids played outside. Katie came in and said, "Come look at our clock!" The girls had made a sun dial out of chalk pieces and a paintbrush and were anxious to watch the shadow move around.
