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.

What a wonderful tradition and wonderful memory. I have similar memories about my parents always providing me with books. And of my mom reading, too. My dad has never been a reader beyond his Sunday school lesson and the Bible, but Mom is and was constantly reading, and I think that example is what is so important for kids.

I can always tell who is going to make As in my classes, and it's the kids who read for pleasure. I almost never have a kid who doesn't read for pleasure who makes an A.

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