Book Worms

Dalton and Avery were tested in reading at school. We are pleased to say that both excel in reading. Dalton scored 90% and Avery scored a 94%. Both will be moved into advanced reading within their classrooms. Way to go guys!

Last week we were amazed at Avery's quickness in reading. Every night the kids read at least 20 minutes. We sat Avery down with a chapter book, and at the end of the twenty minutes she handed me the book and asked me to "bookmark" it. She was on page 63! After 20 minutes of reading? I was thinking there is no way. So, I read through it and asked her questions about what she had read and sure enough that little booger is one SUPER fast reader. She finished the book the next day in her 20 minutes of reading. She read a 95 page book in less than 40 minutes. I'm amazed and very proud. Good Job Avery!

Yummy In My Tummy

I go to the women's Thursday morning bible study at church. Each we we take turns bringing a brunch item to snack on while we are studying. This week it was my turn. I made a breakfast cookie recipe I had never tried before. After bible study I was asked by six different women if I could bring the recipe next week. Then, later in the day a lady called me and asked me if I could bring it next week. The funny thing is the cookie recipe was a taken from the "Better Homes and Garden Junior Cookbook" I got for the girls!

Just in case you want to try the cookies for yourself here is the recipe. They are super yummy and very healthy.
