Read-A-Thon

Our new fun thing is to plan Read-A Thon parties. Actually, it's a sneaky way to keep the kids doing something good while I'm getting ready for the day. I make each of them a fun "house" in their bedrooms with pillows or blankets or anything silly I can find. Then they get a stack of fun books and away they go. And away I go...



Here is a picture of Tyler enjoying a BIG book from our new library. We go every few weeks or so and the boys each pick out 5 books each and 1 video. That way I always know how many to gather up when it is time to return them. I'm so glad they love to read.

Tyler - great job at picking out the "BIG" book. That is totally the one I would have gone for. The bigger the better!

That's a great idea! I'll have to use your read-a-thon idea. Clever.
