The Streak

I've been wanting to blog about books for a while.  I love books.  If you visit here often, you better get used to that phrase.  I'm like way wacky about books.  Reading them myself (when I can), reading them to my kids, owning them, browsing through them at B&N, collecting them some day, screaming from the rooftops that EVERYONE needs to be reading books.  And reading them to their kids.

For now, besides the above, I'll share this:

And the daughter wrote a book about The Streak:

We have started our own "Streak" with Matthew......Friday, February 18 was our start day.  Going to have to get fancy and come up with something other than "The Streak", though, to make it our own.  Right now he's actually letting us read "Stuart Little" to him.  I've wanted to start "Charlotte's Web" for a long time, and he's made a fuss about it.  So not sure why he's tolerating "Stuart", but he is, and I'm not complaining. 

I even bought a blank notebook to write about our own little "Streak".  I'll post updates here, too.

13 days and counting....
