One of my favorite things about summer is all of the great summer reading programs the libraries have. A little enticement of getting a treat or prize of some sort and my morning look a little like this . . .
Yes, even the little ones get in on the fun, although I think the baby just wants to eat the book. (My middle child was sleeping in this particular morning :) Reading time . . . A little slice of heaven. I would be joining them but somehow the book I was reading seems to have grown legs and walked away (I fear the 3 year old has something to do with it :)
Our library program this year asked the kids to keep track of their minutes but didn't have any type of form to track them on. I guess they were just supposed to write them down. We'll for my kiddos, half of the fun is getting to mark off that you have read, so I whipped up these little reading charts. (yes, I need to get new fridge magnets :) I have put the template into Google documents, so if you find yourself needing a
Summer Reading chart you can find one here. (they mark every 10 minutes of reading)
Oh, and one final note for today, Yes, my children do have pajamas that fit them and are more appropriate for the season, they just choose to wear the old, worn out, hot ones. And after several discussions, I ended up conceding that it wasn't that big of a deal and if those are the ones they like they can wear them. (even though it drives me nuts :) My husband just reminds me that you just have to let some things go :)
