June 11th - 15th, 2012  --Week 4 w/o SL

Dd Made a seed plate for fun


After "Lunch Bunch" we went with some friends to Arbuckle Park




Cracking Open A Geode!
Both girls had a chance to use the hammer



Each girl took a piece of the geode home as a keepsake

This was the busiest week we have had in a long time! 
Monday-lessons/biking/gardening
Tuesday we went to Brownsburg’s Lunch Bunch; and invited a df to come back home and play and swim with us at our neighborhood pool.  We also biked.
Wednesday we had our lessons, then biked and Dd played the piano.
Thursday we drove out to Plainfield for the Lunch Bunch at Franklin Park.
Went to the Avon Blood Center and I donated blood; and then went home for a quick dinner.  Then Dd and I volunteered our evening working at our church's food pantry called "The Giving Tree".  We bagged up about a weeks worth of food for about 7 families.  We put away newly donated food and clothing.  We had a great time; but were tired by the end of the evening.
Friday we picked up RL and took her with us to the BPL to watch a free movie "Monsters, Inc" by Pixar.  
Then Dd made FLOUR TORTILLAS from scratch using this book:
