The best laid plans

And we didn’t get to any of the outside crafts yesterday!
The kids made their own fun anyway. They filled the back yard pool and then the girls collected fallen rose petals to make a moisturizing rose petal spa! They insisted their skin was much softer. 
I don’t know about that but the hot pink petals did make it look pretty.
It’s been hot and muggy here and we don’t have our window a/c in yet, so I’ve been a bit of a slug.
I did have our “mom and me” time with Jack. I’ll post with pics later. It was just simple fun with a simple craft. We made him a piggy bank. We didn’t get to it until after dark so he took half last night and saved half for today in daylight for some outside fun he wanted to have.
The city is spraying for mosquitos today so we’re heading out of town for grocery shopping. I much prefer bats and birds for mosquito control but the city doesn’t see it our way.
Anna and I have started reading her pocket Declaration of Independence. It leads to a lot of vocabularly lessons! She asked me to read it so we’re doing it bit by bit with discussions.
On the agenda today… stop and collect rocks. Boring rocks. More on that later too.
Oh yeah, and learn something.
