Raising Readers

My children love to read.

In this year, my son has read 9,447 pages. His stack of books measures 26 inches tall. These were the books he read for PLEASURE, not for any assigned schoolwork. This stack includes classics by Alexander Dumas, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Lord of the Flies by William Golding just to name a few. (I think you can click on the pictures for a closer look.)

My daughter has read 9,013 pages this year, and her stack of read books measures 26.5 inches tall. (This was her big year in Nancy Drew!)

It Was A Rough 24 Hours

We all might say that if we had to deliver presents to the entire world in one night!

Joyeux Noel!

You Better Watch Out.

You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:

Because Santa already has the pouting covered.

(Thanks to my Aunt Sarah for telling me where to find this sad, pouty Santa.)

Christmas In Acadiana, Part III

Reindeer and Gingerbread Men? No way.
It's about the frog around here.
