Bookworm



Since Lolo is still too young for the Summer Reading Program at the library, we are enjoying our own literary marathon at home. Here are some of her most recent favorites: Alice the Fairy by David Shannon, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes, Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Connor (illustr. by Robin Preiss Glasser), The Magic School Bus Gets Cold Feet by Joanna Cole, The Magic School Bus Inside a Beehive by Joanna Cole (note a trend here?), Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst and Good Night, Good Knight by Shelley Moore Thomas (Illust by Jennifer Plecas).

Summer is here!


June 15th: It really, truly and finally felt like summer today. Lolo ventured next door to play in her good friend Jason's paddling pool. I sat in a chair and chatted with Jason's mom while sipping a coke and watching the rain clouds slowly gather. Today is yet another German Catholic holiday. If the Protestants had as many holidays as the Catholics here very little work would ever be accomplished. Love it here!!!
