Things the kids are into

Sean
  • Reading anything he can get his hands on-in the car, in times alone(for hours), at the table- he likes short books, factual books(told me yesterday that he has read all but a few of the Zoobooks at the library), comic books may have already mentioned he read every Calvin and Hobbes, TinTin.
  • Top Secret Adventures by Highlights-they've been sitting on the shelf for at least a year, we'd had done a couple of them partially and he wanted me to read everything for him and do most of the writing. He completed one with me the other day-Peru, then did Argentina and is working on France(all without me)
  • Just finished reading him Hamlet Shakespeare for kids-he thought the ending was lame, actually he usually thinks the endings are lame.
  • Digging in the now debunked square foot garden making mines.
  • Anything Star Wars, books(thanks Ann and Will) Video games, light sabers.
  • Piano enjoying a song called ?Alberti bass from his lesson book
  • Books on tape-recently Inkheart, currently Five children and It
  • Leah's humor (don't tell him that

Leah

  • Sound of music
  • Piano-she has picked out the melody for Doe a Deer: when you know the notes to sing... and I am 16 going on 17
  • writing in her diary
  • Pokemon
  • Star wars
  • Making up songs and quoting lines from things-she's got a talent for accents
  • Made a new friend up the street
  • Jumping on the trampoline sometimes for hours by herself -she has quite a private scenario going out there
  • Sleeping with Ryan

Ryan

  • Star wars
  • video games
  • snuggling
  • wearing his warmest clothes, what is it about that all my kids did this when the seasons change!
  • Ricky Ricotta
  • writing his name
  • digging in the garden and finding worms and grubs
