We All Scream ...

I've finally signed up for the summer reading program. I think Pretlow will enjoy entering his book titles on the library website; it's very cool.

Last night we went to a place that serves Italian ice AND ice cream. Perfect for our family! I think everyone was pleased.

Let the Games Begin!

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. :-)

Summer's Here

Last day of school! Time for summer learning and summer fun! Time to head to the library (who reminded me this week via an automated message that we have four overdue items--ACK!) My goal for the summer is to make the most of it with fun and educational activities. Of course, Pretlow and Zoe are watching TV right now while I work ... so we'll start the summer learning tomorrow!

(Later)
I went to the library website to see what books are overdue:
Alpha oops! : the day Z went first by Kontis, Alethea
The Berenstain bears' trouble with money by Berenstain, Stan
Curious George gets a medal by Rey, H. A.
Curious George in the snow by Rey, Margret

I think I know where they are ...
