When your teenagers go on an outing and bring you back an ass. 😛

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

Tonight we spent our reading time learning about Mars. Simple kids book that had some neat facts. It was easy for an 8 year old to follow along. The fact he enjoyed learning the most was that the North and South Poles have dry ice.

There was a bookshop on the way home from an appointment. Asked the teenager whether she'd like to go in for a look. She replied "you're going to snob at the English books and I won't find the mangas I'd like to read."

Most of my current 30ish library checkouts... Yeah that's probably about right for my reading ratio these days, my stuff to kids books. #raisingreaders
One of my favourite things to do each evening - as our son calls it - "Our special reading time". We each read our books together for 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime. It's become part of our bedtime routine and it really is special. Tonight he is reading Dog Man while I continue West with Giraffes.

The kids and I went to the library this morning and got a pretty good haul. Even though our boy struggled and disliked reading for the longest time he is now quite the reader! Once reading started clicking for him he started really enjoying books! He now reads every night for at least an hour.

Wes‘ class did a blind book exchange. This one went right into the donate/sell pile😂 Honestly they‘re 4! But then I realized that some other parent is probably equally annoyed that they got a Sesame Street book with one paragraph per page 😂😂 #raisingreaders
Seeking book recommendations for my 10 y.o. son. He‘s in 4th grade and dipping toes into horror…he‘s been allowed to watch some scary movies (The Omen, The Conjuring, The Shining, It (1990 miniseries), Signs, The Sixth Sense).
He‘s wanted to read Stephen King, so for his birthday he got The Eyes of the Dragon & The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. He‘s devouring these books…
Any recommendations for where to steer him next? Thanks, Litsy! 💜🩷
