Here's Isaiah at the library, getting started on Summer Reading. I signed both kids up, and this year I also got around to getting a Multnomah county library card so I signed them up for that Summer Reading program as well. I figured as long as I don't count the same book for both programs it's not cheating. They actually both already finished the Multnomah reading program. They went to get the first little prize and were excited that cars were one of the option. When I told them that the guy said the toys go quickly, they were super motivated to complete the rest of the chart so that they could get more cars for their next prizes before they ran out. And so they read lots of books and ended up with 3 cars plus a t-shirt each. Not a bad deal. Eliza, by the way, has started making progress on reading again. Her progress seems closely correlated with the times I am not too lazy to work with her on it, and now that we've started "summer home school" she's getting back into the swing of things. She's got probably 50 sight words down, and can make the letter sounds to try to sound out words, although she doesn't often figure out what the word is. She's a smarty for sure!
Saw this dishtowel at Target and thought, "Wouldn't that make a darling little skirt for Eliza?" So I bought it, cut it in half, added elastic, and she hates it. Whatever. I still think it's cute.
The plate Isaiah made for daddy for Father's Day this year. It's a picture of him with daddy; there is also a sun and some orange trees.
Eliza's drawing for daddy. It's an abstract piece.
I finally let go of my obsession with the plates and actually let the kids do the drawing this year. But first I wanted to show off my artwork from the last three years.
Life is good.
