Reading Bugs

We have been pretty lucky in our house to avoid any major bugs this season - we escaped flu bugs, cold bugs, etc. What we seem to have caught in a major way is the reading bug. Luke and Colby have been reading non-stop for the last couple of weeks. For Colby it has been any spare time he has, before school, after school, way into the late hours of the night, etc. For Luke it is for long periods at "bedtime" and any free time at school. They are cruising through books almost faster than I can keep them stocked.



Luke keeps a plethora of books shoved in and around his bed on a constant basis. Most nights I am not even sure he can stretch out properly on his bed because of all his books in there with him. He just cruised through The Lightening Thief series and is now making his way through A Series of Unfortunate Events.




Colby is obsessed with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. You can hear him giggling to himself at the silliness of the brothers in the book. I feel guilty telling him to turn his lights out and please go to bed when he is begging for "just one more page, Mom". This picture was today after school. He gets himself a snack and settles down with his book.

I am on the same page with the boys. I have a whole list of books that I am working on. I love love love having a list of good books waiting on me to finish my current one and move on to the next. It depresses me to have a lull in good reading material.

I just had to throw this cutie patootie in for good measure.
