Bit of Catch Up

Father's Day was great.  The kids gave Mike sports flags for the house....the neighbors are going to love us :-)  We now have all the Chicago teams covered, in addition to our Iowa Hawkeye flag.  There should be a flag flying on any given day now.   They also made him Carmel Banana Nut muffins, which were very good, if not a bit sticky due to the amount of carmel they insisted on using!

Today Abby hosted her very first book club for the neighborhood girls.  Only three other girls were able to make it, but that was probably a good thing. They actually read the book and did talk about it with a little help from me facilitating the conversation.  After the book discussion, they moved onto a few games of HulaBaLou and Flapadoddle.  They all want to continue, so they've already picked the next book.

Lastly, our neighbors gave us their old Barbie Jeep for H&G.  Griff couldn't be more thrilled with it. Yes, it's pink, but we all know he doesn't have any problem riding around on pink bikes....nor does he mind the pink Jeep!
