This year I seem to be having a hard time swinging into summer. I just can’t seem to get into our normal summer rhythm, so last night I took the kids to Barnes and Nobles to pick out there summer reading books. Every summer my kids have a long list of daily chores, followed by about 3 hours of homeschooling, and then they can have the rest of the day to do fun things like go to the pool (we haven’t been even once this summer.)
Â
We had a hard time picking out books that the kids and I could agree on. My son wanted to read Star Wars books, and we settled on “Levin Thumps”. Sadie wanted to read books that were more like teen magazines than actual books. I finally talked her into reading “A Wrinkle in Time”.
Â
As for myself, I got “For One More Day” by Mitch Album (our book club book) and The Nazi Officer’s Wife, a biography of a Jewish women who was married to a Nazi officer, and had to keep her heritage hidden. I am a history buff, I love reading history books, and historical fictions, but I do have a weird fascination with the Holocaust.Â

Hopefully today we will be able to get a good start on summer, and get at least chores, and reading done. Maybe I’ll take them to a movie since the sun is at a dangerous UV level today.Â
