Week Highlights

So here is the routine.  We have been all working together in one room at a time to get Spring Cleaning done.  The kids do their Khan, Duolingo, and paino as well.  THEN we try and party in the afternoons.

Jacob is still in evening swim practices and Nathan also started his late afternoon soccer practices for high school.  Jacob is desperately trying to find a job.  I can’t believe how hard it is.  Hopefully this week he will get a call for something!

We hiked pulpit rock and then went to Costco at the base of it for a treat…

Tuesday is half off at the dollar theater.  Mixed with Taco Tuesday, it was a REALLY a cheap day out.  The older ones watched “Non-Stop” and the younger ones saw “Mr. Peabody”.

Wednesday we hung up all the favorite art work from the past year.  LOVE how it looks and how faces shine with pride seeing their work hung up.  We then spent the afternoon doing watercolor with salt, white crayons, and tape.  Some of the kids had done watercolor pencils before and Jacob had a set, SO we used them along with the paint.

Thursday the older kids went to the Denver Temple with friends.  The younger three stayed home videotaping skits and laughing uncontrollably.  They thought the chin singing was the funniest thing ever!

We went and watched the Thunderbirds perform for the Air Force Academy graduation.  They are amazing!

We also played a few family games, and dove into books that we want to read for the summer.

I can’t believe a week has already flown by!  School will be starting before I know it!
