Summer Fun

We have been super busy this summer, and it's only just begun. To be honest, I've never been a big fan of summer time. It's really pretty hot where we live. In July the heat index gets over 110 degrees. Most days, we are stuck indoors and it can be difficult to find things to do with 3 kids to keep us from getting stir crazy in the house. Of course, I would much prefer Fall as a season. It's cool, the colors are beautiful, and I feel like we can get more time enjoying the outdoors. 

So I've pretty much committed myself to year round schooling at this point. Hannah got a full month off from school. She and I both needed a break. This week we are starting back school a couple days a week, and next month, we will start back to our normal schedule. I think when we have school, it does good for us to have something to do because it makes our days pass faster. Jacob is working 2 jobs now, and so some days we don't see him from 6 in the morning till 11 when he's coming to kiss the kids asleep in their beds. It helps us to not think about missing Daddy if we've constantly got stuff to do. So today, I made it my mission to create a fun distraction for the kiddos. Baking!!!

I found an awesome recipe for blueberry muffins. I made so many that I froze some, and they are just as good reheated in the microwave as when they first came out of the oven. I'll share the link for the recipe in a bit. It's not mine, so I won't try to claim it. But it was a super yummy one, and I can't imagine myself making them a different way ever.

Tomorrow starts our adventure with money. We are going to play store, and games for the next few weeks and work on memorizing the coins (for Josh) and adding/subtracting money (for Hannah). Hopefully I'll have some pictures to come soon. :D  God bless
