On a hot summer afternoon

 It was a doozy of a hot afternoon here in the beautiful PNW. Here's how we spent it in our neck of the woods.

Clementine practiced her sight words spelling each word in the grass with her new squirt gun.

 And Dutch watched.

 And by "watched" i mean he climbed, dug, cruised, and made mischief all over the deck while sister did her work.

 While playing this morning with a neighbor girl, Clementine told the girl she had to go home because she had some "homeschool" to do. The girl said "Your mom makes you do HOMESCHOOL??" to which I replied "You bet! I'm a teacher, her whole life is homeschool!" :)
This afternoon, Clem practiced can, fan, pan, ran and tan words. Building them first with scrabble tiles, then adding them to her chart (25 words = Waterslides! We're halfway there!!)
In her hand, you'll note the giant, nearly frozen marshmellow because who DOESN'T need a little extra motivation on a super sweaty day??
