This summer has been full and fruitful for our family... literally. We discovered that the tree we thought was a non fruiting apple tree turned out to be a pear tree with loads of pears, so send us your favorite pear recipes, these all look delicious!
Star Wars fever has taken over at our house... all the boys love the movies (that we have let them see that is;)). I found some blow up light sabers that have lead to some really fun battles this summer. Even Audrey is getting into the spirit and trying hard to wield her own lightsaber. We were once playing in the yard and Audrey didn't have her lightsaber so she picked up a stick and tried to play;) It has also lead to some interesting conversations about good guys vs. bad guys and "playing dead".
We are also enjoying the first "fruits" of our garden. We had a great haul of peas and Audrey currently holds the record for most peas eaten. She even tries hard to share them with her brothers. After peas for breakfast we made some pizza "monsters" for supper. I wish I could remember the back stories for all of the monsters!
One of the best activities this summer has been the summer reading program at the library. This week the local chemistry teacher visited the library and wowed the kids with his cool experiments. They have also had a bee keeper and an exotic animal lady visit. We are currently working on our habitat unit for this summer, so the kids are thrilled to see some of the animals we have been learning about. Our next unit is the human body so we will see what that brings:)
