Sunday in the Park.





Well... we needed to do something to burn off all that sugar. Because really, who makes geometric shapes out of marshmallows without eating a few, or in this case... half the bag? The last time I was up in Oregon, Mimi sent me home with some airplanes for the Little People. I couldn't think of a better day/evening to head to the park and test them out. They may have only lasted 15 minutes... but we for sure got our $1.99 of fun out of them.





"Sunday School"




 Aaaaahhh the joys of homeschooling. The flexibility of catching up over the weekend. Wait. Who am I fooling? The kids were driving me bonkers today! So I decided to pump them full of sugar spend a few minutes sorting/classifying/and working on geometric shapes. Phew. And I thought today was going to be boring. Wait until after dinner when I break out the flashcards and force them to earn their desert! Fun times in the Schertz household. Fun times indeed.

The Mister

The Mister is uh-mazing. Like you didn't already know this? Amazing that he can look inside of an engine and know what things are. Amazing that he has the courage to take some of those things apart. Even more amazing that he can figure out how to put those things back together. Last month we bought a new head gasket and radiator. Last month, with assistance from a friend/mechanic, James tackled replacing the parts on the Jeep. This month we'll be rollin' in two vehicles. Oh what a relief.
