Wednesday

It has been brutally hot and the trailer holds heat like living in a tin can. It's okay though, because it gives us an excuse to go visiting all our family who just happen to have air conditioning and pools. We spent the weekend at Nan's, and then went to see our Nana yesterday.

Today was much nicer. The window fans blew in cooler air and really revived us.


Here's Jules chillin'.


We did a beading project today. One of my biggest motivations for learning to be a good homemaker is wanting to be able to do creative projects with the kids. We had a lot of fun just stringing beads today.



Not the most attractive picture out there, but a happy one.


Julius chillin' in his swing.


Olivia has the world's shortest attention span. Until she puts on headphones. Then she is sucked into whatever she is listening to. I'm sure that will be important to remember. I have a subscription to GameTap, which gives me access to a whole slew of educational games for the kiddoes. All the old Reader Rabbits, Math Blasters, etc. Our favorite is Pajama Sam.



This picture just warms my heart. Her smile is amazing.

Yep, I think that is one of my fav things about homeschooling... projects. Maybe this fall we can attempt some projects with all the littles with some help from Matthew and Hannah.

Julius look so cuddly! I can't wait to see whether he ends up looking more like Elijah or Olivia.

I hear you about the heat. I live in a second story townhouse with no central air. I have a unit in the window but my electricity bill is already so high, it totally sucks. The heat here doesn't get as bad as in PA, but it does last for 9 out of 12 months of the year. I'm so sick of it!

yuck I don't envy you being in that trailer this time of year, can you afford to invest in a window unit by any chance?
