We had a great trip to Utah last week. We are grateful for family. We really missed Tay and Shawn and their family, but we were happy to see everyone else.</div>

We even got to see Josh's parents (although I'm kicking myself because I did not take a single picture of them...ugh). They just finished their mission in Chicago and are moving to Salt Lake! </div>

This week was Rainbow Week and it may have been the least effort most fun week so far! We took activities that we do anyway and connected them to colors. For example, the whole family coordinated our clothes each day (Monday = red, Tuesday = yellow, Wednesday = orange, etc). As it turns out not a one of us has a yellow shirt...the other days we did pretty well.<br />
<br />
I went shopping on Monday morning with the kids and we had a great time in the produce section choosing all different colors of fruits and vegetables. It was undoubtedly the happiest grocery trip we've had in awhile. The kids were really into it. We also bought otter pops and lucky charms!<br />

Strain the mixture and put the purple liquid in several "test tubes." Experiment adding different ingredients. If you add an acid (lemon juice, apple juice, soda, or vinegar) the liquid turns hot pink! If you add a base (baking soda or dish soap) the liquid turns blue! It is really fun. And, you can even turn the liquid from pink to blue back to pink. If you add baking soda to a test tube with vinegar you get a colorful volcano. You should try it if you haven't.</td></tr>

Next week is ninja week.

In an effort to create a little structure to our summer I copied an idea I saw from my friend Shelly Jorgensen years ago: weekly themes. Piper and Bastian were very excited about the idea. They came up with all the themes and several activities (here's the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fv5rC16azKCJhG4ra_UibRO5t7tX2Fac0w-Fyi8nlvE/edit#gid=0">spreadsheet</a>). We even started the themes two weeks before school got out (but it is June so it seems like summer). And, since kindergarten is over at 11am, so we still have plenty of time left in the day.</div>
<br />
We start the week on Monday at the library. I searched last week and about put a half dozen books on reserve (greatest feature ever at the library if you have multiple children). I lucked out and found a cool pirate activity book, a pirate book on CD and some other picture books. I also got a pirate cook book, but it was intense. I hid it from my kids so they wouldn't get any lofty ideas:). <br />
<br />
Here are most of the activities we did this week.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I made easels out of cardboard and duct tape (super easy and the kids love them) and then we painted the ocean and the sky. I was going to cut out and paste pirate ships on top, but the kids lost interest and I didn't care enough to push it.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Super cool pirate park that's about 15 minutes away from our house (a major reason we chose a pirate theme). It threatened rain the whole time we were there so we basically had the park to ourselves. Usually it's a popular place.</td></tr>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Our treasure map - I could have spent a bit more time (I wouldn't make it with white paper again), but I at least burned the edges. The map started at our house, wandered through the neighborhood and ended about 1/4 mile away in the woods. There were enough familiar clues that Piper could follow the map by herself. The kids also enjoyed making their own treasure maps throughout the week. Bastian especially liked it because as he told me, he's really good at making "X's."</span><br />

We made cutlasses out of cardboard (reinforced with chopsticks). We also played a pirate board game, watched Peter Pan, and just randomly talked like pirates throughout the day. I loved hearing Bastian say "ahoy me hearties!" For pirate food we ate tuna fish sandwiches and marshmallow mateys. On Saturday we had dinner at a local pirate/pizza/arcade place, but the pizza was overpriced and I wouldn't do that again. I'm hoping to make these theme weeks fairly inexpensive.<br />

It was a fun week. Next up, vehicle/construction week.joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05678257240200318864noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177188284089997718.post-26876197166805754062013-11-04T12:33:00.000-08:002015-06-07T09:54:16.985-07:00Oh, Boy!We are thrilled to welcome <i>Isaac Kendall Ence</i> (aka baby Ike) to our family. <br />
<br />
- Born Sunday, November 3, 2013 8:10 pm<br />
- 9 pounds 8 ounces (more than 2 pounds bigger than Piper and 1 1/2 pounds bigger than Bastian!)<br />
- 22 inches long<br />
- Brownish hair (two people have said they see a bit of red). Definitely darker in the back than in front.<br />
<br />
Our sweet little baby is doing great. He is sleeping and eating well. I loved watching Piper and Bastian meet their new brother this morning. Bastian was especially cute with his brother. Bastian was so excited to hold baby Ike. The most traumatic thing for Piper was she was very excited to get a baby present when she came to the hospital, but she ended up getting upset with the present we got her (a Periwinkle doll). Seriously, it was a bit ridiculous. We finally ended up putting the doll away (probably never to be seen again) and then things got better.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my wonderful Mama who's taking care of my big kiddos! Hard to believe we are a family of 5!<br />
