Anyone who really knows me knows that I can hardly pass up a chance to acquire new children’s books. So…a few years ago when I came across Neil Gaiman’s idea of “All Hallows Read” on the internet, I jumped on the bandwagon. The last three Halloweens or so I’ve given the boys a book for Halloween.
This year I may have let my self control slip a little bit. I got each of the boys three books. I don’t know what happened other than I kept finding good bargains. We had six new fall/Halloween books to read this evening.
Elias was very excited about the presents, and as soon as Daddy was through the door, he declared it present opening time.
Simon is getting really good at saying ‘cheese’ for me these days.
They dug in and enjoyed the books themselves for a few minutes. Of course…they each chose a book I had given to the other one.
But this is what it’s really all about, folks! Reading books with the boys! Celebrating stories. Remembering any time is good for reading time.
