1) Monday started off with some garden-trimming. Our gardens, especially our cherry tomatoes were waaay out of control! Elementary kids picked and sorted, and used the power wheels truck to deliver cucumbers and bowls of tomatoes to the patio table. It was 90 degrees, so we did half a day of school and spent the rest of the day on the inflatable water slide. As homeschoolers should!
2) Tuesday was nice out as well, so we made some sidewalk paint using cornstarch and water and food coloring. Tuesday is our block Science day for elementary kids, so after the sidewalk paint we checked our plants growing in the window, and went to the library to gather books for our next Science topic (they picked gems and minerals!)
3) Wednesday we started out with math and language arts at the island. Kinder kid and the tot went to Tunes for Tots at the park. Upon return home, Kinder kid read his BOB books and then followed up building the words in the BOB books app on the iPad. We pushed through and did most of our Thursday schedule as well, as we are doing our weekly field trip on Thursday this week instead of Wednesday.

4) Thursday we went to an Adventure Farm! They claim to have "Homeschool Days" but really they just discount your admission by a few bucks, and then tell you that you'll learn a lot doing the stuff on the farm. Hmmmmph.

Wagon train. For the 20th time.
The A-maze-ing Maize Maze was pretty good... it's the biggest one in our state!
Elementary kids did the Easy challenge and big kids did the Intermediate. This maze is huge! They have lots of stuff to do inside, and even a cafe and picnic tables halfway through.
3rd grader switched her future career from Librarian to Animal Caregiver after this trip.
5) Friday was a regular day. I spent a bit of time trying to find new things for tot to keep herself busy with for small periods of time. Climbing my leg and stuck to my hip aren't really my preferred activities while trying to run a household, homeschool 4 kids and help our business as needed.
Play-Doh. Always good, especially when eaten. We swallowed however much was in our mouth real quick when we saw Mom coming.
Finishing his pumpkin life cycle book from earlier in the week. He colors SO HARD that he wears out super fast and has to break up the task.
Chapter Math test!
We did stickers on paper plates.
Clothespins.
Stickers on chalkboard.
Still on this. Almost done!
3rd grader works on building her biomes for science within her Minecraft course.
6th grader figures out her new phone... (cue scary music....)
And that's our week!
