midwest love: it’s the sky
Seriously. It’s beautiful. Original pic:
mom, do bobble heads count?
One of the library’s summer reading activities was read to a pet or stuffed animal. She decided to hold a bobble scout meeting. Works for me.
Also, we have too many of these Creativity for Kids kits.
download: summer reading log
My daughter’s Tae Kwon Do academy is having a summer reading challenge. She has to track how many minutes she reads a day. I looked around online for a nice, simple reading log, but couldn’t find anything I liked, so I made one. Then I thought: I bet others would like something like this, too!
I created a blank version and you can download it here.
There is space for 12 weeks worth of reading. Fill in the days of the week at the top with the day you start. We started on a Monday. On the left, you can write in the start date of each week to help keep track. Happy summer reading!

trago sprayground
We already have summer-like heat in Nebraska. It seems we’ve skipped Spring and went straight to 90 degrees. I’ve been trying to make sure we do lots of water-related activities, even though that’s not really my thing. My daughter is super happy, though!
This was our first trip to the sprayground at Trago Park. I highly recommend it.
(Also, it’s free!)
summer!
too big for storytime
Somehow amid the summer reading, second day of vacation, and preschool storytime chaos at the library this morning, these three managed to carve out their own space for some quiet fun.
clubhouse flags
I think we’re finally going to do it: a clubhouse in the backyard. My husband and daughter marked off the area and checked the grade. Now we just need to see what fits.
I also dusted off my DSLR. I’m making an effort to use that more and my phone camera less.
