We're back from the library, having cleared our delinquent accounts. :-) The sign-up line for the summer reading program was quite long, but I can do that online later. At the end of the summer, the kids can each get a certificate for reading or being read to. Among other titles, I checked out Great Big Book of Children's Games. It has over 450 indoor and outgoor games--that should keep us busy! One of them is called "Blow Soccer," "a lively free-for-all" in which "players propel a 'soccer ball' by blowing through drinking draws." We'll see about that one. Something else called "Spider Web" looks like a lot of fun. I haven't read through all of it, but the book warns that it "must be set up well in advance by an adult." But right now I'm about to play "Shouldn't You be Taking a Nap?" with Victoria. :-)

We're doing summer reading too--it's a good incentive for me to finally spend time reading to her! Our theme is bugs, and for every 10-minute block in the booklet, she'll get a little bug sticker. After three rows are filled, she gets a prize. It's all so terribly exciting.
Your program sounds very cool! Maybe we should have a theme, like food. You know they would love that!
