The kids and I picked the Classics to read beginning this week. Allie chose Wind in the Willows and for Collin I picked out the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Because Collin is only 4, I found the series called "Classic Starts", which introduces the classics to young readers without the super-huge words. The book is still full of big vocabulary words, but they are written so it is easier to read. The pages are also good quality, the kind you want to read again and again. Allie picked out the "Charming Classics" series, written especially for ages 8-12, and most books include a little necklace with a theme pendant (in this case, a little golden toad) . Good enough to get Allie's attention! Up next on our list are Tom Sawyer and Anne of Green Gables.

Maddie is a fast crawler. She likes Cheerios and Gerber Puffs, apple juice, and any other non-baby food. She also likes to babble especially when Allie and Collin babble with her. Here is her impromptu shoot, there were so many good ones I had a hard time picking my favorites.
Handsome cowboy!
The kids dressed up as pioneer children for their Primary activity this morning. This is all we could find around the house. OK, maybe I should invest in some good Pioneer costumes :). Collin was so excited to go - he was ready an hour before we had to leave. The kids got to enjoy a ride in a wagon train, horses, and got to participate in some good Pioneer activities. Allie, who loves Hannah Montana, decided to give her new HM wig a try. Funny!
