We are working on a bird packet that I downloaded that includes early handwriting, math skills, and letters also.  So that is really all inclusive for this week.

We are planning on going with Daddy to the shooting range tomorrow after lunch.  The kids are all enjoying gun safety....except Brayden.  But he will go if there's a picnic involved....so I'll pack one if that is what it takes!

Lydia won't have violin this week because her teacher is out of town.  But she starts gymnastics for the first time on Tuesday.  She is very excited.

Joey will have guitar this week.  And we are going to continue our daily walking first thing in the morning.

Brayden will just be doing swimming in the backyard most likely.  But we will wait and see.

Caty will probably start gymnastics next month.  We are waiting to see because you cannot be in pull-ups at all in order to start at this gym.  So it is a challenge to Caty, who had regressed.  But so far she is doing awesome!!

We do have a big project this week....we are creating a couple paper machie trophies for the Special Olympics parade float this Sunday.  So that should be really fun....and messy!!!

Everyone have a wonderful week!!!
