June Randomness

The boys and I went to a special "block party" at the library one morning in June.


You are not actually Batman dear Westyn.


This was one messy breakfast.


Bubbles...


Reading with mommy.


I attempted to do a preschool learning week before summer school started. The boys chose oceans as the theme. We went to the library and I showed them how to look up books on that topic. Then we went to search the stacks to find the books. I also thought it would be neat to use the theme as a method to introduce a new saint. So, we learned about St. Brendan, patron saint of mariners. The boys colored a picture of St. Brendan giving a mass on the back of a whale.

 
Then I found this "fun" project where you can paint a water color using Kool-Aid. Well, let me just say, it was a sticky mess that stained their hands. They did like it though. Then we decorated them with fish when they were dry.


We gave Westyn a 48 piece puzzle to do. He finished it all by himself!


Westyn stole Garytt's backpack for the day.


The boys and I visited my parents one weekend while Justin stayed here. I let the boys out of the van and was chatting with my mom. My dad came out and asked who was supervising the kids...they had decided to try out Grandpa's "toys."


Grandma pulled out some puzzles from my childhood!


Westyn and Grandma took a nap.


Off to a car show.


Bath time friends.


Westyn takes his job as laundry helper seriously.


We spent some time at the splash pad in Columbia.


Library time.


Westyn found our roll of Aggie duct tape and played a little game of rolling it on the floor. I was working but I stopped to take a couple of videos because he started saying "Go, Aggies, Go."

Summer School

(Oops!   This post was supposed to go out prior to the Nashville trip posts.  I guess I was just too eager to share our Nashville fun!)

We enrolled the boys in the summer program at Little Ones Day out two mornings a week. The summer program lasted for the four weeks in June. And they moved up to their new classrooms for the Fall. That means that Westyn's teacher was Ms. Erika, who will be his teacher in the Fall. Garytt's teacher was Ms. Maria who was a student teacher because there will be a new Pre-K teacher starting in the Fall. Ms. Erika did a great job of posting pictures throughout the summer! Garytt's teacher didn't post any, so most of this post will be pictures of Westyn.


The highlight of the summer program was probably the water play day. They actually had two water days but we missed the last one since we were traveling. The boys definitely looked like they were having fun!


Thanks for a great summer session LODO! We look forward to the Fall!
