Our church had our annual "4th of July" Picnic.  The weather was really nice, even with a brisk breeze.  Lots of fried chicken to choose from!  The children played soccer, badminton,tossed balls, and played on the playground.   I chatted with friends while I got a little bit of knitting in.  It was just a nice time to just visit and relax.

Last night we watched "Miss Potter", a very sweet story (and very sad at times) on the life of Beatrix Potter.  About half way through the movie, Lauren and Tyler had the set of Beatrix Potter Book out figuring out the order of when they were written.  Lauren really liked the story, (and is watching again right now!).  I thought it was well done, especially how they animated Peter and his friends throughout the film.  The DVD also included a nice biography of Beatirx Potter which shows that they kept the true story of Miss Potter intact for the movie version.

With VBS finished, I can now turn my attention back to school.  I have paperwork to finish, lessons to plan and preparations to start on for our new school year. 

Happy Summer Homeschooling!
