PLANTING SEEDS
Nate did a really awesome lesson on planting "seeds" this week. We talked about how different seeds will bring forth different things and that you can't plant a watermelon seed and get a pumpkin. So he asked the kids what kinds of things they wanted to reap (ie happiness, friendship, good relationships with siblings) and then discussed what kinds of seeds they would need to plant to reap those rewards. I thought it was so clever and the kids really picked up on it. We keep reminding them what kinds of seeds they are planting. Kinda cool. 6-30-14
MAYNES FAMILY PARTY
Dan was in charge of the 4th of July party this year. He decided to have the party on Saturday, the 5th, at our house. We never get a very big turn out when things are here, but it was still fun. Lynn and Ali finally made it here and had so many nice things to say. They brought Kyson and River. Becky, Darren and Adam came early to fish in the ponds so I got to sit and talk while I finished getting ready. Dan brought his boys and his new girlfriend and Meg and her family came too. It was a lot of fun. We roasted hot dogs, talked, talked and talked, and then watched a movie on the projector. It was nice that it was simple and laid back. 7-5-14
