This was the best week of the entire summer: two amazing concerts, a birthday, memories with friends, and vacation with family. I also had fun sharing many of our family’s favorite games during the 5-day game series I shared this week.

Now, it’s your turn. Tell me: What was the highlight of your week? What are you reading? Share here!
We start school tomorrow(2 in public, 1 first time homeschooling), so we were also trying to soak up our last summer fun! My highlight was only (“only”) having 2 kiddos on Friday and being able to take them swimming without feeling like one was drowning behind my back. 😉
We’re still all working thru the same books as last week, but I did enjoy reading”God Gave us Love” out loud with one of my 8-year olds. I like that they still love listening to books. Oh! And we listened to The Story of Dr. Dolittle on Librivox one day – in one sitting! They were spellbound.
Have a great week!
Your blog! It looks so pretty 🙂 Love the new look 🙂
Aw, thank you so much, Erika! I’ve been tweaking when I should be writing 🙂
