It seems that each week I write my Collage Friday time has flown....wow June is gone...Bring on July!
Over the weekend - besides cleaning out the camper and doing unlimited amounts of laundry - I took the kids to see Monsters University Being the budget conscience mom that I am, movies really are not affordable for us. HOWEVER, Molly had $ 30 in GC's to AMC Theaters and it only cost us $ 2 for the kids and I to go to the Matinee showing. It was really cute and worth it!
We decided, as a family, that we are changing our "formal school" for the Summer. Each day a different subject...Monday Math, Tuesday Writing, Wednesday Geography, Thursday Science, Friday Misc. With reading every day - no exceptions on reading. We are continuing with our Friday Fun Bowling (Kids Bowl Free program) that we have been doing since April.
We bought a season pass to our local "lake" beach. First trip was Monday. It's about 15 mins from our home!
Some other fun family outings on our bucket list...coming up...Minor League Baseball games...drive-in movies (there is a drive-in theater in our town), going out to eat more (we never go out and need to get out more), NASCAR Races (2 of them scheduled!), more camping adventures, Zachary turns 9 in July and more fun!
I also saw that AMC Theaters is running a promotion for Summer. A handful of movies only costing $ 3 each. All money to the Autism Society and they are at 10 pm on dates provided. Here is a LINK if you are interested. There are several I have not seen..SO if hubby and I can get out some night...cheap date!
These cookies are 2 bananas, 1 cup oats and chocolate chips (you can add whatever you want). Mash together and bake at 350 degrees for 20 mins or so...they are tasty (try over yogart or vanilla ice cream also!) There are a ton of variations to this recipe on Pinterest that you can use also. Adding in peanut butter and other ingredients..I just wanted minimal and easy!
We are still working along, at a summer's pace, with school...art..writing..math etc...
Working hard on finding better choices for the familty when it comes to food.

Made some grilled shrimp rolls for lunch one day with fresh dill, lettuce, scallions from the Farmers Market. It was soo good with some Chipolte Ranch dressing (just a smear of it) in a warm tortilla!
We hosted our annual "School's Out for the Summer" party on Wednesday. The thunderstorms held out until a few hours after the party was over (thank you God). This is the same group of kids and moms that have been getting together since some of these kids were weeks old. We had ice cream, swimming, water guns and more fun! Look for the full post coming soon over at my sister blog My Party Passion.
Tonight we are going to a minor league baseball game with about 10 other families (annual event). Looking forward to it, (here are some pics from last year's trip).
I hope your weekend is blessed!
PRAYER REQUEST: If you would be so kind as to add my father, Jack, to your prayer list. He went into the hospital this week with some complications due to diabetes I so appreciate it!

I want to take the kids to the drive in here (with a cooler for snacks), but they haven't been showing appropriate movies for the kids...and I'm pretty lenient when it comes to those things.
Looks like fun at the lake! (If the rain ever stops here we could enjoy the ones near by!)
I've seen that cookie recipe! I wonder if it worked!
Your father is in my prayers - hope he gets over the complications soon.
Hope the game was fun and you have a great weekend!
I'll pray for your father; my dad had diabetes and it made other diseases much more difficult.
We are bowling every Thursday night for Cosmic Dollar Bowling night - it's been so much fun and Aunt Julie and Uncle David have been joining us, too.
I like the way you do a subject a day. Very smart!
I hope the rain held off for your ballgame tonight!
