Be creative @ your library


This was the theme for the Summer reading program at the library. It gives me an incentive to see how many books I can read to the boys in 5 weeks. Later on when they are bigger they will have to read their own books. There were a few books that Parker didn't want to finish, but I made him sit threw it so we could be in the running for the prize for the person who reads the most books. Little did I know that 89 books was just a drop in the bucket. The winner had 300 books read to them.

In my new attempt to get my house in order, we took a picture of their certificates so that we could um, discard them. Gasp.

Preston is holding his out for you to see. We took the boys to story time during the school year and they are nice enough to let Preston tag along, even though you are supposed to be 3. Well when it came time to singing time he loved to run up and be a part of the flannel board. When they called his name he giggled and ran up to get his own certificate for reading 60 books with 1706 pages. That is a lot of sitting still for a little guy.

Parker is studying his. Like I mentioned he had 89 books with 2924 pages read to him.
