Stellar parenting for sure.<br /><br />I'm also on a photo book kick - I decided to get rid of all my conventional photo albums and just make photo books for each year instead. So I've made 2006-2010 so far, and then I thought I'd order those because they were having a special, and my total was over $600. So, they are made, but not ordered. I'm waiting for some kind of magical money fairy to come and help me pay for them.lonek8https://www.blogger.com/profile/09217503506508289374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-44617836991052737962012-06-24T05:05:24.859-05:002012-06-24T05:05:24.859-05:00Totally with you about the end of school and lack ...Totally with you about the end of school and lack of academics in our district.

It certainly was not like that back in the day.<br /><br />Love your blog. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-59754683947098259832012-06-23T20:20:02.550-05:002012-06-23T20:20:02.550-05:00When my kids were younger, I had them do the exact...When my kids were younger, I had them do the exact same thing over the summer....Math workbooks and journal. My youngest, now 14, was kind of snarky about "how summers were when they were younger" (complaining about the Math). She then said, "It probably helped, though!" That's about as close to satisfaction as I'm going to get from a teenager. Now that they are older, my requirement is one book a month...of their choosing. We download it to the Kindle, and I read the same book that they are reading so we can discuss it. <br /><br />I'm the queen of Shutterfly books. let me know if you want me to send you a link, and I'll show you a fun one I did for my granddaughter.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578708937349702068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-3943758243560085902012-06-23T12:13:43.990-05:002012-06-23T12:13:43.990-05:00Great idea to keep up the summer learning!!
