Summer of Reading

Oliver continued archery camp today, he was reluctant to go back at first, but was smiling when Mommy dropped him off and really, really happy when Mommy picked him up!  Yay for summer camps!  The rest of the day was devoted to our Summer of Reading:


Claire went to drop off Oliver- she
was reading on the way back!

Then Mommy picked up her Marshmallows
for the summer reading program at the library,
Mommy will pick up Rachel and Waylon
on Tuesdays- she will post pictures always
for her readers:

Mommy liked the sparkles in the cement at
the library.

Rachel said they were like her sparkly flip flops.


Sweetness.





They reported on a book called "Fleabag."
(Mommy knows a scruffy, cute fleabag.)  



We looked for Oliver's paw but couldn't find it.

We read a couple of books!


They liked the cat collection.
We had fun!

Then Mommy picked up Oliver
a half hour early, she wanted to make
sure he adjusted well the whole day- she worries:


It was too early so the pick-up music wasn't on!
The stereo is usually blasting with some good stuff!

Pick-Up!  He buttoned his own "sun shirt"
today!  Cute!

Oliver and his enthusiastic, sweet camp counselor, Justin.

Mommy had a surprise from the claw machine
in the car for Oliver.  Oliver thought it was 
pretty funny!

We were off to report on our reading:


Oliver reported!

We found Oliver's paw!


He got to choose another book and got a notepad prize!

He made a craft!


His summer reading book bag!

Mommy turned in her three reports!  She got a neat
bag and pen for reporting!  She hopes to win
again this year!

We made it to the Escondido Library too:






We'll see about this program.  It is not
as interactive and that is what motivates Oliver 
and makes it extra fun!  

We are excited to continue of Summer of Reading!

Summer Monday

Our wonderful Summer continues!  Oliver started archery camp this morning through the Encinitas Y!

Claire doesn't like to see us go.
(Can you see her tear?)

She did help Oliver put his shows and socks on though!

Excited for Archery!



Ready to learn and listen.  He
is very well behaved at school and the Y.
Mommy is thankful for that.

Claire and Mommy picked up Oliver!
He had a good day, but lots and lots of
listening and not a lot of shooting arrows.
It should be a little different tomorrow.

We continued our Summer of Reading:

At the....

Beautiful library!

We signed up for the Summer Reading Program!

The theme is "Paws to Read!"

Oliver reported on his Teddy book!

He didn't say much.
Mommy helped him, he will get used to it.





He got a free book for signing up!

Claire did too!





Claire's is kind of fun and will go pretty quick
with all the people reading with her this summer!

Oliver read to Claire and was smiling,
but Mommy wasn't quick enough!
Do you think Claire likes the library!?




Mommy is going to "Paws to Read" this summer too!
Her goal is still 3 books a week like the last 2 summers!


We spent some time together in the pool and afterwards
talking about his archery experience.


Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Watering

Mommy picked up Oliver at 5:00 and we transitioned nicely at home.  We invited Mattias to come over and help us water the garden.  Mattias will help when we go on vacation in July too!

He was a good listener even though Oliver
was trying to show off!

Oliver is very excited about archery camp
starting in the morning!  Check out
his tank top!

Mommy is excited about her garden!
She planted a bunch of sunflowers and morning
glory- hopefully they do well!  She wants
something to grow in the summer!

Our tomato harvest has been nice this year!

Mommy is really glad Oliver is home.  

(Goodnight and sweet dreams!)
