Summer 08

So since I have been spending my summer at the William's (see John and Jen's profile links to the right ->)I get into a new routine here then I would on a normal summer at my house. The past few Summers have been me by myself remodling my room, cleaning my house, and reading. This summer it has changed dramitcally.

I have picked up some new obsessions.
~Johnathan taught Jen and I how to play Yatzee last week, and the 3 of us have played it like 5 times in less then a week!! I may not be amazing at it, bubt it is so addicting.


~Every summer when I spend time with my cousins at their house they build puzzles, well I took that idea and brought it to the Williams house along with a 10 puzle box set. The whole family contributes, and we use our brains.

~I got the kids hooked on the concept of free books, and movies from the library. We go like 3x's a week, even the 3 year old loves it. I checked out Sleepy Hollow fromthe library this week, now tomorrow Karli and I are going to watch the Tim Burtton version of the movie. I am going to try and convince her read the book after it, but Im not holding my breath. I love to read, so anytime they get roudy I can just say "Ok, everyone go to a quite place a read for an hour, and I get to do something I love, and the children learn to love the written word. Really a win/win situation I think.
