Laundry in the morning.
Laundry at noon.
Laundry underneath the big blue moon.
Baskets on the chairs.
Baskets on table.
Baskets full of underwear.
His are folded.
Hers are folded.
Theirs are too.
Laundry is finished.
Until tomorrow….
as the pile is never long diminished.
This little poem is brought to you by Laundry Day at our house!
I’m enjoying one of those rare periods where I’m pleasantly occupied with things. At the same time this persistent feel of winter is making me quite lethargic in the evenings.
Also I’m trying to get my wake time/sleep time schedule changed. I personally feel that nothing makes a body drag more than mess with their routine. BUT I find I’m needing a bit more quiet time in the mornings that what I’m getting. So up earlier it is.
So many of my far off bloggy friends have been quiet lately. It makes me wonder what everyone has been up to.
Chet Gecko in The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse.
Jr. says “He’s a detective. And the book is really good. Chet Gecko if he finds Billy the Chameleon he gets a big piece of Stink Bug Pie. And Herman the Gila Monster is the bad guy. A kid who likes mysteries would like this book.”
George’s Secret Key to the Universe
I always know that our read aloud is a good pick when 1. there is begging for one more chapter and 2. Jr. reads ahead of where we are at. We’re not through this book as a read aloud but already I am looking forward to adding it permanently to our shelves. Jr. says, “I like the computer named Cosmos. I like all the science stuff that is on the special pages. I like the girl in the story (Annie). A kid who is interested in science would like this book”
I picked up two different books from this non-fiction series. They both have a wonderful collection of photographs of the subject. Simple yet still informative words. These are recommended by my Lil’B who at 5 prefers non-fiction.
Thanks for the audio suggestions! Now I have a new questions do you buy or borrow audiobooks? Our library has a nice selection but we’ve found more and more of them are scratched. It is quite frustrating to have to skip a chapter (or section) to get past the skip. On the other hand audiobooks are a tad expensive. I have tried librivox but found many of them to be just a bit to archaic in language to catch my children.
