Summer Reading

Summer reading is in full swing! I have been reading and the kids have been reading and we are really enjoying it. I do most of my reading when they are busy doing other things and then we spend a lot of time reading together. Ava has been reading on the iPad quite a bit, but she has also read many, many books from the library. So far she has read about 85. So proud of how well she reads.

Highly recommend this one. It has definitely made me more thoughtful.


Pop reading to the wiggle worms.


The theme this year is "Dig Into Reading." I was the guest reader on this day and we read Diary of an Earthworm and then made dirt pie.




Ava reading her 75th book.


Ava reading to Harrison.


Ava has decided to be a vet when she grows up. As you can see, our books are all animal centered.

Summertime

We have had a wonderful start to summer. So much fun, so many fights, so much snuggling. :)


Ava has started reading on the Kindle App on the ipad.


Coloring and making his cheese face


Ava and I did some snuggling and she was laughing and saying, "I can't quit talking!" :)


A walk complete with big puddles
