This is why I haven&#8217;t been blogging much. We have been cleaning out flower beds and planting flowers. The big boys mow lawns for our house and a neighbor. We painted the basement. Wow, that was a big job. And then there is summer reading. We love to read!<\/p>\n<p>The little boys spend the day reading old National Geographic Kids magazines. We have probably 12 years worth of those dog-eared fact menageries. Mark is loving The Series of Unfortunate Events books and Calvin and Hobbes. We purchased our first water damaged library book this week: a Calvin and Hobbes book that was left in the hammock and doused by the neighbors&#8217; sprinklers. The librarian said that the positive part about having to buy a library book is that you get to keep it. That&#8217;s true, and Mark is happy to have it.<\/p>\n<p>Timothy is reading The Edge Chronicles. Daniel is reading Ranger&#8217;s Apprentice books again. And Shakespeare. And anything he can get his hands on. Paige loved The Book Thief and has a tall stack of library books in her room.<\/p>\n<p>Summer reading is one of my best childhood memories. I hope it will be the same for our kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The kids and I are working hard to limit our screen time each day.
