Weekly Round Up - with sparklers

I found a great new app called Collect.  It is a photo journal meant to capture one picture a day.  The best part is that it presents the photos in a calendar format, oh and did I mention, it is FREE.  I've tried most days to capture at least one photo per day, usually on my phone.  This app gives me a little reminder at the end of the day to take a pic or at least upload one into the app.  I like it.

Almost all the pictures in this post were taken with Instagram.  I love Instagram.  Follow me to see more great pics. I'm hollyoshesky.

This Week:

Sunday we spent a few hours at the Zoo.  The kiddos took along with them a scavenger hunt and put stickers by each animal they saw.  Little Dude was excited to put the stickers.  It helped him to be less bored.  

We started back doing some light homeschooling the week.  Little Dude is doing pre-school stuff, counting, alphabet, calender and doing better than I expected.  It is making me re-think sending him back to pre-school in the fall. 

Zippy also started a fabulous American History curriculum.  Seriously, where was this last year when I was looking for a great American History book?  

We took a nature walk.  Zippy spotted this ladybug.  We walked our way down to the playground where we had to take cover from the rain in the play structure.  Zippy carried the Little Dude home in an effort to go a little faster before the rain started again.  

And of course yesterday was The Fourth of July.  We did not do a whole lot for the holiday, but we did break out the sparklers.  What is an Independence Day without John Sousa, BBQ, and sparklers?
