yay reading

mr. flea took the kids out and bought them some books the other night - Tuesday, I think. Maybe Monday? Casper got Bone 5 & 6. Last night I went in to tell her to turn out the light and go to sleep at 9 and found she was on the last page of Bone 6. She'd been reading continuously since we got home at 7pm. I was so happy, and she was so proud of herself.

This weekend plans include a sleepover for Casper with our neighbors (none of whom, including the adults my age, have ever seen The Princess Bride, which Casper will remedy), building terrariums (mr. flea project), and the usual sundry boring chores.

Our house is covered with paper airplanes at most times; Dillo is obsessed with them. And now all the Chiefs (4 year olds) at camp are making paper airplanes too! I have a large cardboard box that is the corral for errant paper airplanes. Our house is also covered with boxes; they are so useful when you are a creative child. It is too bad I don't like clutter.

Yay for Casper reading! I know you were concerned at one point, so I'm so pleased for her progress.
