Last day of break!

So glad we didn't have to rush back to school today! We've been staying up so late though I don't know how we'll go back to school tomorrow.

We planned to swim with the Volkemans today in Placitas - but they had to reschedule. It was extra disappointing for the kids - the girls were already all in their swimsuits! But we had a relaxing delightful day at home together! The girls played beauty shop - and after a few games of Ticket to Ride Riley won! And I played my hardest! Reese also worked hard on a lemonade stand (inspired by Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink). She made a sign that read 'lemoeonadbfor seil it cost oun pene the lemoeonad is sogood.' she also worked on her recipe - we blended blueberries to add to the lemonade, but she tasted it and decided it needed just a little sugar. She was absolutely darling and in her usual way worked out all the little details of her plan. Her planning really began yesterday. Love these kiddos so much i am dreading sending them back to school tomorrow!





When Daddy came home he showed us that a package was on our doorstep! Can you see the excitement? A box from Charlie & Annie chalk full of treats, sugar and more treats!
We had a great FHE tonight - we are working on clearing our place on our own this week, and Riley chose our ponderize scripture: __________.
Dad is a genius and had us play 'Spiritual-ality' where we gave each child a situation to come into and figure out how to act. Mom & Dad were the actors. Riley stood up for Reese on the bus, Reese stood up to friends who were talking mean about another friend, and Jessa stood up for Cassidy when Wyatt took Cassidy's toy. Not only that but Jessa also found a good solution - she gave Wyatt a different toy. So proud of these kiddos of ours! We've got the best!!
