For our Time to read Tuesday, we decided to head over to the Library to choose books for our June book reports. Since outings with all 5 guys can get tricky and time consuming, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Summer reading program sign ups were going on while we were there. After hunting through shelves of books with large spreads of glossy photographs, and dealing with a couple of fickle decision makers, each boy selected a book or two about an animal; and we were on our way. Hmm, that makes for a rather boring and picture-less post. But, in my defense, who takes pictures of their children selecting books at the Library? Now, video of them using the touch screens and being fascinated that the black pad can magically scan the bar codes on a giant stack of books, that would have been something to capture.
As far as June book reports go, it looks like my husband and I will be well educated at the end of the month on a wide variety of animals. If memory serves (yesterday was a long time ago with my brain) E chose gorillas, J chose frogs, G chose kangaroos, V chose bears, and P chose Tigers.
On a separate note, the schedule seems to be holding up nicely. We consistently are a bit behind, but with the built in free time, we are keeping on track well enough. The boys' only complaint thus far is that there is not really any "free" time in the morning because we are currently trying to pull all the weeds our of the garden. It's a pretty large plot; and until its done, they each are responsible for a 5 ft. length of furrow each day. I enjoy gardening but with irrigation there are lots of weeds and a huge plot with long rows. Plus, since I am no expert at gardening, we let a pretty good bed of weeds grow in before I feel like I can differentiate between plant and weed!
