Feed your brain!

One of the reading programs that C was in this summer was through Half Price Books. It was called "Feed Your Brain." To receive a reading reward ($3 gift card), he had to read at least 15 minutes per day for 5 days each week. He had already remeemed some of his gift cards and today we went and redeemed more. He had a total of 4 ($12). He shared one with his sister and he used 2. So he still has 1 more plus there are 2 weeks left in the program. Between the two kiddies, they got 12 books and 2 bookmarks. I thought it very interesting what type of books each picked. K picked mostly Disney books (Pinocchio, Bambi, Aladdin, Tarzan). C picked more "educational" type books (Bees and Wasps, Earth, Bats, Nebraska, New Mexico, Virginia). I think he is going to be exactly like his Daddy and enjoy learning. Both of them retain facts (sometimes useless information; love you honey!) very well. I'm excited for C to start school (Aug 4); I think he's really going to enjoy this year.

We also went to Wal Mart and got the kiddies bike helmets. It was sad that we waited this long. Once we get them all adjusted, I'll get pix of them in their helmets and on their bikes.

K also spent some birthday money. She picked out a little doggie in a purse. I think she really wanted it for the purse. Next time we'll just go look at purses. She's a girl (so unlike her mommy--although a friend had a really cute pink Coach purse at church last night. I liked that one)

In all our shopping, what did I get????? Draino!!! for our bathtub. It keeps stopping up. Maybe this time will fix it. Oh I did get coffe at DD--with a coupon; does that count?
