friday.

Hello friends! I didn’t make it to “four on friday” this week but here’s a little peak into what we’ve been up to:

1. Summer hair cuts! Gabe and Noah loved their first head shaves from Daddy and it makes these 104-degree days marginally more bearable (I’m thinking of getting one myself).

2. Classical Conversations practicum. Our homeschool group puts on a three-day practicum in the summers. Moms receive training and encouragement, and kids can be part of CC day camp. Judah went to “Geography-Art camp” and Amie went to “Play camp.” The little guys spent the days with Mum-mum and they went to “Library camp” each morning.

The three days felt like a vacation for me: all four of my kids were having fun (away from me!) and I got to sit and listen to insightful lectures and talk with some really great people. Judah and Amie loved their camps and I promised Gabe that he can go next year too. I loved walking into the dining room yesterday morning while Judah was teaching Noah the continents and oceans.

3. Organizing. I’m in another “wewillfitintothishousedarnit” phase, and have been on a purging/organizing streak. David jumped in and helped on his day off today and I feel so much better already. More on how we’re making life work in our wonderful, little house soon.

4. Swimming! We hung out with some good friends this afternoon at the pool. It was so relaxing and Gabe and Noah did great — every time they get in the water they seem to enjoy it more. Also pizza never hurts!
