I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly-y

Where did the time go? How is it that another segment of Project Spectrum 2 is over already? This time I didn’t even get to dye my wool yet!

Fini

I am so very sad. Two things were finished today. My PS2 Jaywalkers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (I will keep all book details on my 2007 Reads page so others can avoid spoilers)

Summer of Socks!

Yes, it is Summer!
Today was the 1st day of our Summer Program. We hiked the 4 Lakes Trail and spent the day lazing at the river. Well, after a fashion.
The children explored, built a ‘castle’, found ‘diamonds’, crossed the river, found snails, built a monument and a dam.
