Started the week out attending Girls group on Monday. Lex chose to stay home, with Wilks, as she was totally and joyfully engrossed in her new Wii My Sims Agents game. She completed the game just a few days latter! Wilks, Liv or I was by her side, to assist with the heavy reading.
Lex's tries on a rock and roll persona
We went to VLM to check out the Charles Harper exhibit.
Checked out a totally Green house!
Had a ball at Shirley Plantation, the oldest in VA. They had a home school day with several special activities set-up. We met up with great friends and everyone enjoyed being outside on a gorgeous Earth day. They loved writing with slate pens and quill feathers.
Bess Bess in pure bliss!
Liv went on a sleep over on Thurs. night....so Lex and I went on breakfast date Fri morning...she decided to have a syrup tasting and we had a bit of silly fun.
We finally got the supplies we needed to make some more ooblek.
Em stayed with us over the weekend and on Sat she joined us for our UU Earth day clean-up...the girls worked really hard and it was quite impressive for them to see how much trash we all collectively picked-up...... 33 bags in total! We had a nice lunch and enjoyed great music and spirit dancing and story telling afterward. The girls also each made really cool dream catchers and helped decorate some sun catcher discs with inspirational words and art for our planet.
Our neighbors HS'd grandchildren where also visiting for the weekend...so lots of kids and lots of outdoor play, spy games with walkie talkies, bike riding, head lights for nighttime back yard adventures . The girls plus Em spent a good part of today making their own version of a Ke$ha music video...they even gave me a small part =). Wilks worked 4 days this past week...it was really weird not having him around that much.The girls have discovered Jim Henson's The Storytellers series and Growing Up Creepie on Nexflix streaming. We also started watching a few of the Liberty Kids episodes thru the stream. We are all (Wilks too) now hooked on Ugly Betty and are about half way thru season 1. Liv is reading the Twilight book and the girls and I are currently all listening to Saffy's Angel
Rare photo of Liv using the Wii this week...as Lex was on a mission!
Hey Berning Family,
ReplyDeleteI love the updates. I feel as though I'm there along for the ride. I can't wait to show this to Katie. She misses her cousins and is asking when she can see them. It is almost summer and we have a beautiful day here in NJ. A little on the chilly side but at least it is not raining :)
We have spent a couple days so far at the beach so we can't complain about the spring. It has been good to us.
Katie is getting ready for Kindergarden and really looking forward to it.
Love you and Miss you,
Mary, Pete & Katie
