B is for Books & Build a Barn

Day 2, Letter B. Did you know that if you read 8 books Barnes & Noble will give you a free book? What a deal! Both my kids have done that, and you just print out a form to fill out. They have a selection of books for different grade levels that you can choose from, about 30 books or so. Ilea chose a book by a favorite author of our, Bruce Coville. It's the first in a series called Into the Land of the Unicorns. Kyler chose Tale of Despereaux, under protest. He wanted Pokemon, but funny enough, B&N doesn't consider that quality literature! They are making a movie of Tale of Despereaux which should be out at Christmas. He'll love it.

Then we came home and built a barn from a box. The kids were both creative, with horses, straw from straws, and lots of color. It kept them busy for a long time. 2 down, 24 to go!
