Little House in the Big Suburb

[threadwalker]

Super N is still grounded. This means no media.. no TV, no computers, etc. That was interesting to juggle last weekend. At one point I banished both kids to clean their rooms while I revelled in the freedom to watch movies that were totally inappropriate for young eyes and ears. Last night during what would have been family snuggle time in front of the TV we had, instead, quiet time while Daddy read "The Lightning Thief" to everyone. The kids folded laundry, I tidied up after dinner and we all listened. It was awesome. He read for an hour straght.. I usually put myself to sleep when I read aloud, but he carried on. And he did voices and drama as well. Did I say it was awesome already? It was. I could listen to that every night.




Sassy feet!

I love Daddies who read to their kids!

When my kids were young, we measured trips by the books we read during the drive. Concord to Seattle is equal to THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER minus 22 pages. We actually stopped on the road about two miles from our destination so we could finish the book before we arrived. Everyone in the car but me took turns reading. I am unable to read in moving vehicles, so I drove. lol
