Matthew is just now finishing up his school for the day!

He earned another Pizza Hut personal pan pizza...he gets one once a month IF he reads age appropriate books (meaning chapter books) enthusiatically throughout that month. It doesn't matter how much, only that he does it with a happy heart.

Now for his Braums ice cream, he has to read 6 books...and he finished that too, so we're going to get him his ice cream here in a bit.

Just adds a but if fun to his reading...gives him a goal to work toward.

I'm personally reading "The Bronze Bow" to him right now...at night after Joshua goes to sleep. Ever heard of it? It's excellent. By Elizabeth George Speare.

I love Aldis. Have you ever tried their coffee? I think it's better than Folgers and very reasonably priced. And their canned goods prices can't be beat and they are GOOD!

I've not heard of it, but will look for it at the library next time we go...I love reading aloud to the kids but it seems we don't have much time for that now that they are in school...did I tell you g'nad has decided that we should pull them out after Christmas? I need to order their books...sonlight, saxon, shurley grammer and I think bob jones spelling...we've done sonlight and saxon before but I needed a new grammer and spelling program.

We get coffee from there too but mix the can of decaffeinated in with more expensive regular bag...we thinks it must be healthier that full caffine. :-) And I make myself drink a big glass of water before...in keeping with that healthier idea. Say...where do you get that "special" tea you drink?
