Well, what have we done? Despite my pleas not to have a schedule, we do have a routine (of sorts). Every morning, we make our beds and do a chore. Every afternoon, we do a worksheet from our books (so my children don't forget everything they have learned!), and have an hour of quiet time. Then the rest of the day we try and do at least one thing that's semi-out of the ordinary which gives the kiddos something to look forward to. We've been to the local Nature Center with some friends, the pool (when it's not raining), the library (every Friday), a birthday party, and Bible study on Thursday mornings (which really isn't as much for them as it is for me!!).
Our favorite thing that we have done is free summer bowling. Landon was literally counting down the days until we were able to go bowling. The kids have been on a Wii bowling kick lately. Since Landon is just about a "Pro" on the video game (thanks to all the rainy days), surely, he will be awesome at the real thing, right?
Well....a real bowling ball is just a liiitle bit heavier than a Wii remote. I am very surprised we didn't dent the floor of our lane with the way they dropped that ball! In the end, we lasted through a game and a half (Wii games also go so.much. faster). Thankfully it's free (just have to pay for the shoes)--which the kids wanted to keep. :) Remember when dressing like you were on a bowling league was all the trend? Hello, 1990s!
We were with the professionals...the Gray-haired League. Yes, we were some of the youngest ones there...by, like, lots of decades.
We had a fun morning (thank you bumper bowling)! The sad part is they did better than I did when I bowl! Maybe I should try using the bumpers next time?
