Sundries

1. This is the kids' spring break, so Josh and I decided to suspend Fiona's homeschool stuff and let her have a break. She was so stoked about it; Monday she watched TV and took it slow and had a great time. Yesterday afternoon, she said, "Mom, I'm bored. Can we go back to having school again?" LOL So today we read more Howliday Inn. We read chapter four; draw Chester and Harold in the thunderstorm; write: what does Chester think about Heather and Howard?

2. We saw a mature turtle crossing the road! Josh helped it across, and we looked it up to find out it's a box turtle. Yay!

3. Josh is venturing out to the store tomorrow. The last time he went was March 31st, so I think we did pretty well. Next week, we'll need to stock up on meat again; luckily, the local butcher is still open.

I was just thinking earlier today that I couldn't fathom not reading for fun. What do people do all the time if they don't read? You never get bored as long as you have a good book. Its good that you're teaching that to Fiona early. Good for you!

My parents use to take me to the bookstore once a month where I could pick just one book of my own, no matter what it was. LOL. That was always a fun treat. Even if that book was too big or too adult for me, I'd get it. I quickly grew out of kid's books and was reading adult books when I was in sixth grade. I'd have to ask about words and such, but my Mom always helped me with that. I remember it with fondness now.

I hope your kids have many happy years of reading ahead of them. :)
