At 6:30 this morning the house was nice and cool (69 degrees!) so I took advantage and mopped the floor. Zach and Tyler were completing their daily 30 minutes of reading (so we can climb towards our summer goal), and Gavin and Lexi followed suit.
I loved hearing Gavin "read" Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? to his sister while his brothers got lost in their own novels (Fablehaven: The Rise of the Evening Star for Tyler and Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo for Zach). Raising readers makes my heart happy.

It makes my heart sing to know that your boys are loving Fablehaven!!! That is my all time favorite series!!!! And Brandon Mull even came here, but I missed him because I was sick! Darn! I didn't get as into the Leven Thumps Series, but I have both of them on audio books and the narrator just wasn't great.
Congrats on all your reading goals!!!! I get excited when my kids read too!!
By the way Heidi, I know you were writing novels even in junior high, so I think it is time for you to publish one......... I am ready to read it!!!!!!
Have a great summer day!
Christa
Amen. What a great morning!
Sounds like a great morning! Nothing like getting lost in a great book to make the summer days drift by.
reading at 6:30am?!?! I'm so glad my kids sleep in!
They all look so well behaved! Glorious!
