Awesome Summer!

I hope all of you are having an awesome summer like me! The kids and I have been having fun reading, swimming, visiting grandma, and going to the Winterville Library for story time on Wednesdays.

Gretchen, my five year old, has been working on the summer reading incentive at the library. They have prizes for the number of books you read; so far she has received her name on the wall (10 books), a certificate and a sticker (20 books), a coloring page (30 books), a book to keep (40 books), and a backpack (80 books). Her goal is 100 books which will allow her to go to a party at the main library on Baxter Street at the end of the summer! You guys can participate in the summer reading program too, go to the Athens Regional Library and check it out!

So, with that being said, I have not had time to do any of my reading because Gretchen, Kate and I read picture books and basic readers for about an hour a day! I have rediscovered my love for Amelia Bedilia; those books are hilarious! Gretchen has gone through an Eric Carle and a Dr. Seuss phase so far as well!



I had planned to read Feathers and Football Genius off the HRRB list, but have not gotten to them yet. I promise to post a review for them before we come back to school in August!

Have you done your summer reading? Which books have you read?
