We love our new neighborhood! The girls are SO excited to have kids to play with every day and half a dozen houses they can knock on to see if so-and-so can come out to play. Favorite activities include scootering around the block, climbing in our tree, drawing with sidewalk chalk, and box sledding on the hill out back.
All the parents are making friends too! We even discovered that one of our backyard neighbors is another homeschool family with 6 and 8 year old boys. We all really hit it off so I think we'll be seeing a lot of them! Then our next door neighbors bought a massive inflatable waterslide, which they set up this past weekend. There were instantly a dozen neighborhood kids outside, then the parents wandered out with blankets and camp chairs, and we had an impromptu block party! We're also only a couple blocks from the neighborhood pool, so we've been walking down there once a week to meet up with folks.
Yep, I think we found our happy place!
Summer Reading Program
We attended the summer reading program kick off this past weekend. It was a hugely popular event that involved a cute magician's show, snacks, and a free raffle (we won a book!). The girls are really excited about this program. Unlike our last library, this one really is all about reading. The girls keep up with what books they're reading and how long they're reading, and they will get prizes when they reach different minute milestones.
Look who's done with early math! (Kindergarten through second grade standards are all grouped together in Khan Academy.) Lion is thrilled to have met this major milestone, and Bug was assuring her that math gets even more interesting after this.
