Great Report Cards

Well, well, well.....looks like we have two straight A fourth graders!! Congratulations H/R! Your hard work and diligence shows.

You are really great kids!!

I Never Thought my Daughters would ask ME to turn the Volume Down

Well, after several years of trying to not become the TV Nazi by being overly strict with regards to tv watching, H/R have asked ME to lower the volume because they are reading. I feel I need to clarify - THEY are chastising ME regarding the tv because THEY are reading......Not the other way around!!! Haha....who would have ever thought.

So if you're wondering what it is that they are reading that has them at it today for over 5 hours already it's the first book in the Twilight series, in fact the title is "Twilight", by Stephanie Meyers.

I told them that they could see the movie only if they read the book so we bought two copies yesterday and they haven't put them down. I don't even think the motivation is the movie, I think they are really enjoying the book.

We've been enjoying (sort of) summer break which I describe as time where we get to do some fun things interspersed with longer moments of boredom. So I am very happy that reading is filling in those moments.
