Ode to the Olympics

A couple of weekends ago, the kids and I headed out to "Miss Liz's" to spend the day. Tom was working late that night and the next day, so we made it into a slumber party, too.

Since it was so stinking hot outside and we had little energy to take all 7 kids anywhere (but I would like to give a shout out to our 4 hour trip to the mall with all the kids we took last week) , we made it an Olympic theme day... to give the kids some random structure (is that such a thing?) during our day.  



There was an obstacle course
And she's off!





Dear Charlie

Simon practiced his weight lifting

Olympic Ring M&M snack




Froot Loop Gold Medals



Another Olympic Ring craft

MG wasn't that interested. Can't wait to see her art projects from school :)

Fun times!
All we needed was our friend Brinley to provide the soundtrack!

And just because- this picture was from when we played in May.

Oh that Simon is so cute! And has changed so much! Love the theme of the day, look at you, you home school mom! With 7, it's almost a classroom in itself!
