Our future. . . .

Scott and Lucas built this train set on sat. The train set has cards w/suggested track set ups. The boys were proud of themselves for coming up w/their own design. Future builders? Hmmm. Maybe.
On a side note, I have been sooo proud of the boys reading progress this summer. We are running a little contest. Noah has read 1,115pg, Eli has read 806pgs, and Lucas has read 973pgs. They have done a great job! I said that I would read a page to at least equal their combined total. So right now I needed to have read 2,894pgs, however I have read 4,858pgs this summer. Noah says that I am not allowed to count the books that I have read to Lucas but that is only 279 pgs of my total. The boys are still reading every day-so I will let you know who wins. How do you encourage your kids to read?

I can see a career in the future. Great job on your summer reading. That is a LOT of pages. What was your favorite book this summer.

Congratulations on reading all those pages. You make me proud! I need to start counting my pages, too. Trevor must have really liked playing with the train set because he got it out last Saturday & was playing with it. He really tries to imitate you guys. Love ya!
