I was on vacation this week, but we really didn't have any big plans to do anything. We have a lot of little (and some big) projects to get done around the house, so we decided we would get some of those projects done this week. I'm still trying to stay true to the "100 Days of Summer" motto, but this week we will be doing more things around the house. We have lots of "spring cleaning" to get caught up on, and we have a ton of stuff to go through and get rid of. That's a big job when you're doing it for 7 people!! We got rid of clothes, baby stuff, and toys, just to name a few. The kids had a lot of toys they didn't play with, so we decided to donate a bunch and we threw away a lot of stuff too. We're also doing some room switching, so we've been moving furniture and cleaning out rooms. Lots of work being done around the Fritch household this week...lots to do, not quite done yet, but we're getting there :)

"S.T.A.R. & Angry Birds Water Balloon Toss"

Day 25 S.T.A.R Plan & Day 26 Angry Birds Water Balloon Toss

Day 25 S.T.A.R. Plan (Mon 6/18/12)
Today we implemented the STAR Plan in our house and we made some stars for all the kids to put on their bedroom doors as a visual reminder to always us the STAR plan if they have problem to solve or a decision to make.

STAR stands for Stop, Think, Act, Review. It's a four step process that can help kids solve problems or help them make decisions. It helps when they are fighting to say "STAR" and they start the process. It helps them resolve their own problems without me always having to be the bad guy or play referee.

"Father's Day Car Show"

Day 24: (Sun 6/17/12) Went to the Father's Day Car Show at Lakeside Park

Today we went to the Father's day car show at Lakeside Park. Daddy, Maisy, and Dalton got up early to go get a good spot to park the 52'. It was a perfect day for a car show, a little hot, but other then that the weather was perfect, at least it didn't rain this year. We had a nice spot in the shade. It is always a fun time, and everyone likes to look at all the cool cars and trucks.

We parked right next to Granpa Terry and his hotrod...

Today was Maisy's choice. She wanted to make things for dad for Father's Day and go to a movie. So we did all our Father's day prep in the morning (shhh...it's a secret). Later, we went and bought Dalton & Lane new bikes. Finally, we had to pick out which movie we were going to see. We ended up going to see a 3D movie, which was super cool!! We saw Madagascar 3. It was quite a fun day.
Love The Fritch Clan :)

"Kids Choice: Lane~Menominee Park"

Day 21: Lane's Choice~Go to Menominee Park/Zoo, Oshkosh.

This was my personal favorite of the kids choice days, actually, they all wanted to go. We went to Menominee Park in Oshkosh today. We met up with our friends Danielle, Kiana, and baby Olivia for lunch in the park. The kids had a great time playing on the playground, going through the zoo, swimming in the lake, and playing frisbee. We spend the whole afternoon here, so by the time we got home everyone was tired, but we had such a good time!! (We got some really cute pictures too)
