Today's Stories

We had such fun reading stories this afternoon that Ellen and I had to sit down and blog about it. The first one we read was Cars and Trucks and Things that Go, by Richard Scarry. We love this book. There are so many things you can do with it. Today we looked for Goldbug on each page (that is what we usually do) and we talked about all the fun silly cars. Ellen's favorite was the cheese car filled with mice. Mine was the pickle truck.
We also read two stories out of the March issue of the Friend. (To read it online click HERE then click on the March issue.) One is called Sunday Stations and the other is called Emergency Day Drill. Today was about the 5th time we have read both of them. The kids really like the ideas in both stories, especially the Sunday Stations idea. I told them I'd have to think on it. The kids in the story are a little older and can do more things on their own. Does anyone have any ideas for a "station" that Naomi or Ellen could do?

Perhaps they could draw a picture which could be sent to a grandparent later (hint hint). And could they have 10 minutes to look through family pictures or scrapbooks? Also, maybe they could have a ten minute interview with James? Are there any church videos that are about 10 minutes long that they would enjoy?
