When the Cousins are Away...

the other cousins play! The boys' school ended the Friday before Memorial Day. Thus, when Becky's children get up early and are gone for the day, as they're still in school, my boys fend for themselves until the cousins get out of school. I found them hiding in Kayla's bed, together, having a little reading time before breakfast. How they got up to the top floor, from the basement, without me seeing them, I'll never know

Amy -

This is totally off topic, BUT do you think you could track down a link to the study about failures impact on our brains... I think that is a great data point and quite encouraging!

My best,
Whitney

Hey I think it is great that they are #1 being quite and #2 doing something constructive. Way to go boys!

They probably didn't want to disturb you and were quiet as little mice. Glad they are enjoying their reading. Cute picture.

THAT'S why I heard Kayla last night say..."hey...where did all these books come from, and HEY...why is there food in my bed?" HAHA! I love that your boys are such avid readers. Wish my kids would follow suit.

Wow, since I'm finally catching up it seems you guys have done a TON just since getting to hotel Orton! At this rate Becky may never let you leave! (I wouldn't)

I like your phrase "fend for themselves", great training my friend! Keep up the labors of love & reading.
