A Picnic and a Late Treat Run

One of the great things about homeschooling is that our schedule is very flexible.  For example, today we took break at lunchtime . . .


. . . to attend a birthday picnic for our friend Mayra.


As a birthday gift, Anna drew this picture (with some help from YouTube) of Mayra's beloved dog Ollie.  Mayra liked the drawing so much that she went home and framed it. :)


The weather was lovely, and the girls had a great time connecting with their friends.


Joy and Sophie had fun looking for shapes in the cupcake frosting.  ("That one looks like a heart.")


After the picnic, we headed to the store to belatedly celebrate one of our family's favorite traditions.  When the kids get home from their last day of school, I take them to the grocery store and let them pick out a treat to kick off summer vacation.  School was so wonky this year that the tradition totally slipped my mind in June.  I finally remembered it a few days ago, and decided that a treat run on the final day of August would have to do.


Late treats are much better than no treats, so no one complained a bit!
