The kids have been reading a lot, sneaking in some movies, and helping out with bible school stuff! They will attend Bible school starting Monday! Today my 6 year old read scripture in church and both kids sang for the kids choir today. They didn’t finish all the worksheets/art I mentioned below, but they’ll be working on them the rest of the summer.
Imaginative Play:
Did I mention they played ZOO a lot! See one of their exhibits below!
