fun activities for kids: last week of tabletop surprises

137 Shares

This is the last week we’re rolling with our tabletop surprises. Boo-hooooooooo.

Even though our calendar was ten weeks and we’ve rocked #tabletopsurprises out for nine fun-filled weeks, next week will be spent (gasp!) doing the kids’ summer school work.

Sure, I should have more evenly spaced the work, but whatever. I didn’t.

And school’s almost here. As in a week away. Open House next Friday.

Stop the madness, right?

Next week we’re going to do a whole lot of organizing around the house. A whole lot of cleaning. And a whole lot of cramming those math packets and reading post cards.

I need to make next week as un-fun as possible so that Maddy, Owen, and Cora are really ready to go to school and excited for summer to end.

Just kidding.

Here’s the skinny. . .

Fun Activities for Kids–Everyday Tabletop Surprises:

This week, we did a little sign language, some playing with money, and put in some library time.

We had a little math fun.

We celebrated Owen’s birthday (how on earth is he nine years old??!) with a few of his buddies, and despite the torrential rains we had, it was a good week.
