Summer vacation has begun!

Today was the first day of summer vacation for Quintin. He is so excited to not be in school anymore. We got some books from the library and we all got on the floor and found some fun science experiments and gardening projects to do. Quintin didn't even realize he was doing reading and writing when I had him find projects he wanted to do in the book, then write the name of the project, read and find the supplies we needed and write them down. We have a fun book for kids on container gardening that I got for Q for Christmas. Now that school is out we will hopefully have time to garden! I have all sorts of activities in mind...too bad he will have to be at his mom's most of the summer. We are hoping/praying/planning to homeschool next year so I can save them for then!

So I am currently trying to sew a wetbag. I decided stupidly that I didn't need to follow a pattern...um...talk about wasted material and time. It's kind of funny actually. I can still salvage the material a little I'm sure, but I really need to learn to follow a pattern! Perhaps I should look for a sewing class while Dan is home to watch the kids.
