I didn’t realize that I’ve missed three weeks of posting.  Yikes!  So here we go…

Days 31 – 35:

Monday – We had Super Hero Day on this day.  We got to wear the capes that we made the week before.  Isabelle loved showing off her “Super Isabelle” cape; Josh wasn’t quite so into Super Hero Day.  We had a super hero lunch with hero sandwiches, and fruit (which makes you have super hero strength).  Cost: $0

Tuesday – Water Day.  Also known as the day of the disastrous bubble painting.  I had the bright idea that we would use our “washable” colored bubbles to paint pictures on paper that I taped to our porch rails.  Just a note, it is definitely not washable.  My kids were both stained green for a few days (see the lovely picture–all that green bled through his clothes to his skin), but it did come out of their clothes for the most part.  And it did result in some really cool looking paintings.  I’m thinking I might try coloring the bubbles with Kool-Aid next time.  We also played in our new lion pool  and our sprinkler ring.  Cost: $0

Wednesday – Zoo Day!  Our kids love the zoo so since Kyle was off today we decided to head that direction.  Our kids had a blast!  And since we have the zoo family pass it was free.  Even better!  Cost: $8 (we had to pay for train and carousel rides).

Thursday – Library Day.  Today was the day that the fire truck was at the library.  We got to listen to the firemen tell us what to do if our house were to catch on fire and then we got to go look at the fire truck.  Isabelle and Josh also got fire hats!  Cost: $0

Friday – Grandparent Day.  We headed for Newnan bright and early Friday morning to go spend some time with Grandma and Granddaddy.  We hung out with them all morning and after lunch we headed over to Mama T’s.  The kids spent the weekend with Papa and Mama T and they had a blast!  Cost: $0

Days 26 -30:

Isabelle had Vacation Bible School all week, so Josh and I spent our time reading books, working on learning the alphabet, and counting.  Cost: $0

Days 21 – 25:

Isabelle and Josh spent the week in Panama City Beach with Nana and Pops.  They had a blast hanging out with Nana, Pops, Aunt Lee, Uncle Larry, Uncle Jason, Aunt Mariah, Andrew, Brian, and all four dogs.  They also got a nice tan!  Cost: $0

So there you have it!  We’re back to a normal week this week, so I’ll try to post our event round-up on Friday!
