After this whole summer I am proud to say the winner is Makenna. She and I actually were the only ones that ended up reading whole books. Mine technically were much longer and would probably be more pages than hers, but I am letting her win as any good mother would do. So as you can see by the pictures we created quite a big caterpillar . So tomorrow while the kids are all at school I will take it sadly down. It was something fun for us to do and I hope that she liked it. I know it helped her with her reading skills!
I am sure that I will have good things to report about the first day of school. They all seem to be excited. I am a little sad. At least kade will be home with me. He starts preschool after labor day. I will be excited for the old routine school life. I am getting an injection in my back and then returning back to work next week. I hope that it helps. I did find out that I have fractured my back at some point. Who knew. I always thought that if you broke your back you would know exactly when it happens. That is not the case for me. I am looking forward to getting better soon!

Awesome idea to get your kids to read. I am going to try that next year. My kids still have two weeks before school starts. I am dreading it. I like being on my own schedule. I hope your kids had a great first day.
What a good mom you are! If I had even thought up a cool idea, I probably never would have followed through on it--so two thumbs up to you!
Thats a really cute idea... might have to steal it. We need all the help we can get in that department.
Way cute idea! Except I would totally lose that race because I only read when I want to. It's not my favorite hobby in the world. But when I do read, I actually enjoy it. Maybe when I get out of school, I will read more.
Most Mom's are glad their kids are back in school and I think it's so sweet you're sad. You can tell you love your kids a bunch. Very sweet.
Lets do lunch SOON! I leave 2 weeks from today.
Cute idea, I just might have to copy it. My older girls are really into the Twilight series right now. I can't get them to stop reading. Do you think the catapillar idea would get Chase to want to read (JK)? I wish I would of thought of something 10 years ago to get him to want to read.
I love your reading idea. I definetly have to give that a try.
I'm sorry to hear about your back...how frustrating that is! I hope the injection works for you.
I love the caterpillar idea for reading! How much fun!!! I have been reading a lot (well, more than I have in a long time) and have really been enjoying it. Right now, I'm reading Marley and Me. Such a cute book and makes me laugh- it makes me think of Casper (I miss that dog!). Hope the kids had a great first week back to school!
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me posting one of the pictures of your book worm. I wanted to share it with some other summer ideas that I am putting together. I really loved this one, and I already have the boys excited about it. I don't have to use the picture, but I wanted to make sure you were OK with it if I did. Thanks for sharing it, so that I have something to look forward to this summer.
