Where's Thomas?

All week long whenever we needed Thomas we knew where to look...in the front room READING on the couch!
Thomas read 5 books in 4 days that equals 1342 pages! HOLY COW!
His reading obsession started to wear off on Emily too. She has always loved to read but hasn't loved chapter books. Well, during the last few days I have found her reading by Thomas with a chapter book. It's amazing what influence a brother can make! Good thing Thomas is such a great example...I don't mind. Well, maybe the singing REALLY LOUD part could be toned down a bit :) Our house would be way too quiet though!

SO cool! You've got the secret to homeschooling. Each person's strength inspires everyone else. I want to read with them on the couch!

A boy after my own heart! My perfect idea of a spring break vacation!! What books did you read?

The singing real loud will be gone BEFORE you know it and while he is in China on his mission.. you will give ANYTHING to hear that again.. afterall, "the song of the heart is a prayer unto him and will be answered with a prayer on your heads"
Be thankful you have singing and not fighting hahhaha I am nannying this week.. enough said!
