We woke up this morning to do our last little bit of reading. We just don't have that much left to do in our work together box, and it is a wonderful feeling. Though I am still going to try to read at least one book to everyone this summer.
After we had our breakfast and finished reading, the kids started on their chores and I worked on folding a waist high mound of laundry. I am not sure how I was able to do it all before the kids were able to help. I had bunko tonight so the kids pretty much did all of the weekly chores today.
At 10, we loaded up to head to Raymar for our little homeschool field day. I think that the kids had fun. We started off with a 3 on 3 soccer tournament. There was a ping pong ball relay race, games for the little kids along with a kickball game.
It was hot out there, and there was a bit of grumbling and complaining from the kids...and adults. But the biggest hit was Ms. Traci's snow cone maker. The kids loved having the them-they went through all of the paper cups that Traci had and we had to start using my paper plates to make cones.
Robby brought our crew pizza for lunch. We ate all but two slices of pizza, and a good while after lunch I looked up to see Whitman sitting at the table all alone eating the rest of the pizza. The boy was hungry.
When we came home, everyone helped unload the car. Then the girls headed out to play. The boys eventually joined them for a little bit. At 6, they all headed to Third Realm for a bit of jumping.
There were only 2 other kids there plus some new workers who were running a tight ship. That was fine though because the kids still had fun. Then they ended their evening with supper at Shorty Smalls. It has been years since Robby and I have been there.
I didn't have a big crowd at Bunko tonight, but we had plenty of food-chicken salad croissants, roasted carrots and green beans, salad and a S'mores trifle. I made the desserts this afternoon and even made 6 extras for the kids. So there will be lots of S'mores trifles for us to finish off over the next few days.
