Book Bonanza

Here's the sum of my B.B.B. habit from this last week:

Books + Kids + Snuggles with Mom or Dad = Reading Time Pleasure

We've read over one hundred children's books. This week! Some are memorized favorites that have to be read over and over (and over and over and over) again. Others are fairly new. All have been enjoyed. Here are the current favorites:

Pinkalicious by Victoria and Elizabeth Cann
Wild About Books by Judy Sierra (they all have this one memorized)
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff
Inside a Barn in the Country by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
My Daddy Snores by Nancy Rothstein
Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots by Carmela LaVigna Coyle (and all the other Do Princesses...books)

What are some of your favorites?

"I cannot live without books." Thomas Jefferson

Almost every night when I've checked on the girls before I go to bed, I have found books open on their beds. Debra and Laura have fallen to sleep with piles of books surrounding them and the light still on in their room. I've caught Debbie 'reading' to her dolls. Marie has almost filled a composition notebook with a story she is writing. We are living, breathing, relishing, devouring books.

“A home without books is a body without soul.” ~Cicero~

No new habits this week. We're too busy reading.

Habit 8 Read to my children everyday
Habit 7 Hand written letters - easy when the goal is only one a week!
Habit 6 Latch on to the Affirmative did really well this week!
Habit 5 Stick to a school schedule harder for the older girls now that the farming is underway
Habit 4 Tickle the Ivory was able to play two days this week
Habit 3 Clean as I go - becoming a habit!
Habit 2 Use positive reinforcement with my children- habit
Habit 1 Exercise for 30 minutes every day - works better if I can do it first thing in the morning.
