Summer Bucket List 2017
The list continues to grow. It has been fun this year because all of the boys seem interested in coming up with ideas this year. Granted, we are likely not going to make it all the way through the list, but at least we have some good options!

Friday Five
Jack's class have been studying the life cycle of the butterfly. This brought with it a renewed interested in a book that we have on raising Monarch butterflies. In this book, he is drawn to a page that shows the predators of the Monarch. He is equal parts fascinated and repulsed by a picture of a "wast" (otherwise known as a wasp) eating a caterpillar. He has to show it to me every single time he opens the book.
Now, we already knew that wasps ate caterpillars, as we've seen the scenario play out in front of our very eyes. It doesn't make it any less fascinating and repulsive to Jack, though.

Apparently there was an election at the house the other day. Jason was running for president, and his opponent was me -- only I had no idea it was even going on. Anyway, daddy did the tie breaking vote and it was decided Jason was elected. Jay then appointed Jack as his vice-president. (Upon hearing that, Jack immediately ran off to find his tie...because everyone knows that vice-presidents always wear ties.) LOL
~~~
Shawn has been sick this week. He is hanging in there, but I foresee that the other boys (and their mother) will be down for the count in three, two, one...
~~~
9.5 days until summer for the boys. They are really feeling it now and ask every day how much longer they have. We're almost there!
~~~
The boys are working on their summer bucket list. Let's just say that these boys think they are world travelers and that everything must be free. We've had visits to all kind of places suggested, and even Jack has decided that we must include a hotel visit at some point. Mr. Shawn has been the realist of the bunch and has asked for a trip to Target. Now that I know we can accomplish!

Spelling Bee-ers?
Today we watched a bit of the Scripps Spelling Bee. I have to say that the boys seemed to be pretty entranced by the whole thing. Jason readily tried to spell along with the contestants, and even Jack wanted a definition of a word he was trying to spell. LOL
Who knows? Maybe we have some future spelling bee participants in the family. Only time will tell!

Field Trip!
Jack and his class got to go on their first field trip today! They went to a local farm and picked strawberries, listened to a presentation, fed some animals, played in the hay, and even visited their first portapotties! Lol. They had a great time, too!
On his first bus ride!
Farmer Jack is on the job!

Getting Closer!
The boys' school year is winding down. Today, the big boys turned in their iPads...
Tomorrow, Jack has a field trip to the farm.
There is talk of an "Old Fashioned Day" on Friday with some sort of game activities going along with it. (I was asked by middle child if I wanted to volunteer to bring a watermelon to school. Your guess is as good as mine as to what that would be for!)
A field day has been planned...
13 days until school is out for the boys. Bring on the summer! We're SO ready!
