Just in case you are wondering what to do with all those school books over the Christmas break.....
Just don't pack all your books into trees! The holiday season is such a nice time to catch up on your reading, isn't it? We have also been enjoying several books on CD while driving and doing our holiday prep around the house. I keep a little notebook handy so I can write down especially memorable language/writing as we listen (the children serve as my scribes in the car). This has been such fun. It is quite delightful to pull out a glowing metaphor or simile, or some unexpected alliteration, in the midst of daily conversation with the family! Just one of the things that make our children wonder if their mother isn't just a bit above average in the "strange" department ( ba-ha-ha-ha...)! But perhaps one day they will grow up to be stunningly articulate and not take themselves too seriously as they go about their daily tasks...and finally see that there was method in my madness :). Pleasant Reading, friends!
