Our Week (06/23 - 06/29)

We hosted Story Camp this week, for Owen and six of his friends. Two of the girls' friends also came along as helpers: 

Day 1 we read Mo Willems's The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? and did a bunch of Pigeon and Duckling-themed activties. Here they're making finger puppets.

Here they're playing Duck-Duck-Pigeon.

Day 2 we read some If You Give a Mouse a Cookie books, focusing on If You Give a Dog a Donut. This is a donut ring toss.

A life-size board game.

Donuts for snack

We made donut frisbees and had a contest to see who could throw theirs the farthest.

The book talks about Dog doing a happy dance, so we had a happy dance with bubble wrap.

Day 3 we read Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes. 

The kids decorated their own cupcakes and watched the TV episode.

We played Steal the Cupcake (a modified version of Steal the Bacon).

Day 4 we read Curious George and the Ice Cream Surprise. Here they're playing with yellow homemade playdough--for the Man in the Yellow Hat.  William said he made the Loch Ness Monster.

We had this giant box that our new mirror was delivered in, so we made it into an ice cream truck and ate ice cream sandwiches.

Day 5 we read Adam Rubin's Dragons Love Tacos and had a taco party.

Owen's been really into ninjas and robots lately. Here's a picture he drew earlier this week--complete with nunchucks.

Here's the completed remodel of our bathroom vanity. I couldn't find a "Before" picture to compare it to.

 Here's the before and after of our living room. Scott recently put in new laminate flooring and baseboards:

This is what it looked like when we bought the place.

Now

Scott put in the French doors too, a while back. Now we just need to get that orange chair reupholstered...
