READERS UNITED

Amanda - Summer School here is highly promoted for all the kids, there is no homework, but it does keep the kids brains from going to mush.  It is split into 2 - 3 week sessions with three classes per session (only half a day), I make the kids take one reading/history type class and one math/science class and then the last class can be fun.  I hope you enjoy Madgascar.  We want to see that one and Brave, but I am not sure when we will get a chance to see them.

DonnaM - I am with you and Mary on the Tell Harlequin, it is often a struggle to read the books.  This time, I just didn't have time to read them.  As for vacation, it is our family reunion, we do it every other year.  This year we are going to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  We are driving, which will be an adventure - furthest we have ever traveled with the kids - 18 hours.  It should be fun though.  I just went to Walmart and picked up a bunch of stuff for the car - food, books, magazines and a new movie for the kids. 

Margie - Has your sister thought of taking lessons with Gavin?  If they are doing private lessons, it might be worthwhile and could help her as well.  I hope  you enjoy Witness.  I thought it was really good.

Trudy - I am not sure why you wouldn't know if someone was sueing you, sounds odd.  I would stay on your attorney to get an answer. 

Read an interesting book the other night - it was called - We rode on the Orphan Train, it was a non-fiction book about children from orphanages out east that were sent on orphan trains out west to farm families and others.  Very interesting.  I had no idea about that time in our history.  Not much else happening here, went to the dentist to find out about Maggie's braces, looks like we will be moving forward with them - likely in August.  Happy Birthday to Maggie, I guess.  I offered to do it after School Pics, but she wants to get the braces first.  Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
