If they just come and draw from the kid's bucket, it has fun activities.

your buckets are SOOOOOOO cute.

I'm planning to read Caddie Woodlawn this summer too… I think I saw it on Carrie's blog? Let me know if you like it ":)

In fact, Chloee has now started a habit of after our goodnights, we let her read her books for another 20 minutes or until she falls asleep.

Cannot emphasize ENOUGH the importance of reading

I really want to hide the books so I can "make" him read something else. But he just finished Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and loved it. I just need to find more books that look more interesting to him!

Have a nice summer!

So cute-Elodie is just now showing an interest in American Girl Dolls. We did the Barnes and Noble reading program and she picked an AG book. I'm hoping we can save enough pennies to get her one for Christmas. I can't believe how expensive they are! But then again, she enjoyes the catalog that comes every year just as much as the doll! Maybe that can be enough! 😉 Happy Summer!

And now that's you. 😉
Good luck with the fins. 🙂
