A day in our lives...what we are reading...03.06.08

Well, on any given Tuesday night you can find me curled up on the couch with my favorite..a PEOPLE magazine. But when i've read that cover to cover (approx. 2 hrs with the normal distractions) what is a mom to do when she actually finds herself with some time on her hands? Read! Foreign concept these past 2yrs but i actually went to a bookstore last week and picked up some stuff for ME for a change. Here is what i just finished, it was excellent. A True Story about a man who died in a car crash and was in Heaven for 1 1/2 hours approx. Awesome!

 

Then here for contrast is what my poor boy Erick is getting to read these days! Boy the life of a High School Junior! Next month is the ACT. UGh, then in June the SAT. But he has subscribed to a really cool website that sends him a sample SAT ? every day and then lets him know if he got it correct/incorrect and the statistics of how many others that answered got it correct/incorrect. It's pretty cool. Mom always guesses right on the English/Grammar ones which frustrates him quite a bit..but hey..it's not like i would get any MATH questions right!

 

Then there is Danielle. She is a VORACIOUS READER! Her teacher and I can't keep her in enough books these days, one a night to bring home is child's play! She wants to read, read, read! For Christmas she got the Angelina Ballerina series and she loves, loves, loves these books! I seriously recommend them to any moms with little girls!!! She is reading them all by herself which is so amazing from my standpoint! There are some tricky, big words! Some nights when she starts to get tired she will let me read one page and then she'll read a page. It is fun - and our nighttime reading ritual is one that i TREASURE with every fiber of my being. She is so eager to tackle the harder and harder books - and she loves reading to her brother right before bath time!
