Activity Grrrls

The Wild Woman Summer Enrichment Program For Gifted Girls is in full swing already!

Last week, before school was even out for all of us, evening swim practices started for the Lone Star Girl and the Lone Star Baby attended one of the library's Summer Reading Club Kick-Off programs (with the Daisy troop).  We had a Daisy field trip to the Fire Station on Saturday as well, which was a lot of fun.

This week, the Lone Star Girl started volunteering at the library in the afternoons, helping with the Summer Reading Club and shelving books and such.  Two of her friends volunteer there a lot so she is really enjoying it.  She is supposedly reading The Lord of The Flies and To Kill A Mockingbird as summer reading for high school, but she's mostly reading a bunch of fluff from the library as far as I can tell.

The Lone Star Baby's swim lessons started today and she had a great time.  She is also filling up that reading log for the library, going to craft time there and having fun doing art projects and playing a pizza math game at home.  Next week, she may attend a morning sign language camp.

Meanwhile, we are trying to get the house at least somewhat ready for the Saturday birthday party of a little paleontologist in training who turns six on Friday (Six!).  (We won't say how old my old man will turn on Thursday.)

Whew! Sounds busy and fun! I just finally read To Kill a Mockingbird (for the first time) a couple of years ago, and couldn't decide if I wished I read it sooner because it was so fantastic or being glad that I'd waited till I was old enough to appreciate it (The Lord of the Flies on the other hand...)

Wow! New background! I like the dandelion clocks. I'm glad that LSG is reading a little fluff along with her fiber. :)
