Often after our evening meal while we're still at the table (if we aren't running late or some other disaster occurs) I read to the boys. Not too long ago we finished reading Ruth Park's "The Muddle Headed Wombat". Hilarious! It was a hard act to follow. But lately we've been cycling through a variety of books including:
- "Window on the World" a children's version of "Operation World"
- "Time Outs for You and Your Kids" by Grace Fox (this is especailly useful if we ARE running late and not able to do individual with the boys in their rooms), it is a short devotional.
- miscellaneous other books, picture books as well as longer chapter books.
Tonight I randomly picked up a book we picked up at the school library the other day. "Hot Potato mealtime rhymes". There were some side-splitting poems inside. Two of them had us almost on the floor. "Mommy Slept Late and Daddy Fixed Breakfast" and "Hot Food". I'd type them here, but I think that poets are pretty particular about Copyright. But I do heartily recommend the poems to you.

Great recommendations...both the practice and the books. I've been looking for the kid's version of "Operation World" for ages but didn't know the title - thanks.
