what we're reading...

Aaron, The dream manager. Jaimie, Real Simple magazine... (my new subscription that I'm so excited about from my sister, Thanks Jenna!!!) Dallon, 39 Clues. Dawson, Skippyjon Jones. Easton, Curious George at the zoo.Dallon has been wanting to read this book. It's pretty popular with the kids his age. We made a deal today that if he'd work real hard for an hour for me in the house, then I'd swing him by Barnes and Noble and he could get it. It's fun to see him all curled up with a blanket on the sofa tonight excited about a good book. By the way, he kicked butt cleaning. That kid can work real hard and the two of us got so much done in that time. Good deal for me too!

WE LOVE SKIPPY JON JONES!!!!! It is one of our very favorites. Madison had Mrs. Jane Pierce (Don't know if you remember her) but she had her for Kindergarten she loved books and reading, so that is one we love because of her. So Hope you all enjoy skip-ito. What a great mom taking your boy to Barnes and Noble. Mother of the Year!!!

Way to go Dallon!!! Reading is so beneficial to one's life and so many of us do not read anymore. What a Mom and Dad to encourage their children to read.
