Not much traditional "schooling" going on this week, but we're nearing the end of Harper's Core program for the year.  We should be done at the end of this week.  We're just finishing up with our Bible study and a bit of history now.

Our school plans have changed for the summer from my original plan.  I had ambitious plans to create my own schedule for July and August, but have opted to be more flexible and laid-back for the next couple months.  We will, however, continue with math and science in the mornings - if we're home. 

Summer goes too fast, and we'll be out-of-town at least a couple weeks in the upcoming months, so it will be nice to enjoy a break.  Of course, we'll keep reading, exploring and trying new things - we are always learning something. 

I tried to get some pictures of Harper at t-ball last week, but I told Hawken I wouldn't go too far from his field.  As soon as I tried to get close to Harper's field, Hawken came running from his position at third base to have me put his glove on for him again.  I did manage to snap a few pictures though...

Here's Harper in action!

Here, he's waiting in the field for more action.

Hawken is getting a lesson in batting.

T-ball has been fun for the boys, and the co-op is a good way to introduce them to the sport.  There are two weeks left of t-ball, and then the kids will play soccer!  Harper says he likes t-ball better, but soccer will be fun.

We've been busy at home too...

We recently got a new table for our schoolroom, so we turned the old, small one into a sand table in the backyard.  (It used to have a tabletop that would cover a storage area.  The storage area works great for holding sand and a bit of water.)  The kids have had lots of fun designing their own beaches this week!

When Hawken wears this sun-safe swimsuit, he calls himself "Action Man!"

Every year, we go to the Earle Brown Days Parade with Grandpa and Grandma Karen.  It's only a block from their house, and we always have a good time.  The kids were looking forward to it all week!  They even chose special bags to collect their candy. 

They've eaten some candy, of course, but most of the candy has gone into their candy store.  They have each made a couple bucks selling their candy to family and friends.  When Hawken grows up, he wants to be a "Candy Man" and own a candy store.  Harper also wants to own a store, but he will sell "everything he likes" at his shop.

Hard to believe it's the end of June already!  We've had lots of fun this month, and learned a lot in so many ways!
