Saturday I took the kids to the library and signed them up for the summer reading program. It isn't a big deal to get my kiddos to read, it is something that I have always required encouraged. The boys have to read for ....... wait for it....... an hour, yes an hour, every day during the summer before going out to play with friends or on the Wii or the computer. Roo has to read for 20 minutes.
This is what it was like this morning at my house.
It was quiet and calm and peaceful.
We may just make it through summer vacation!
