READ IN

Back in elementary school, every once in a while we used to have these days called Read In's.
Basically it was a book day.  You would bring whatever chapter book (or books) you were working on, and lots of snacks, and a blanket and a pillow, and we would move all the desks, and everyone would pick a spot on the floor to set up camp, and all we would do all day is eat and read (and maybe nap a little, though I don't know if that was really supposed to happen...),
and it was awesome!

Brinlee has graduated from wanting short picture books any more before bed, so for the past couple of weeks we have been working through something a little heftier.  Her first big girl book choice was Charlotte's Web. Excellent choice!
This morning we woke up to a really impressive thunder storm. Conveniently enough we were pretty close to the end of her book too, and had nowhere we needed to be.  So, we set up a Read In!  We built our beds, finished the last couple chapters of her book, popped some popcorn, and then watched the movie.  We all dressed as our favorite characters.  Brinlee was Charlotte, of course.  McKenna ended up being Fern Arable (because she wouldn't wear anything else), and mommy got to be Wilbur... the pig.

It was the perfect morning!
