Cuddle Up and Read Day

When I accidentally got an email from Ethan's old teacher that this particular friday (about a month ago) they were having a "Read all day" day, I decided to do the same. The kids were allowed to stay in their jammies, bring all their books downstairs to the classroom, along with their pillows and we read and read and read. Ethan actually raced downstairs after breakfast, he couldn't wait to spend all morning with books. And Alex, who never reads until bedtime (the only time of day he can settle down), also read for at least three hours this day.

Turned out to be a relatively successful school day, despite blowing off school completely!
