I found an amazing
list of chapter books to read with your 4-7 year olds on Pintrest and for the past few months Anne and Jamie and I have been working out way through them. I cannot believe 2 things-1. I cannot believe I haven't read most of these books before and 2. I cannot believe how good these books are! I feel like I am enriching my children's lives so much by read these books to them....and then in during the most touching part-the part where I am openly crying and I can barely choke out the words I look over and Jamie is picking a booger or Anne asks what's for dessert. Yes these kids keep me humble.
Anyway, I thought what a great idea it would be to go even farther than just reading the books. To pair them with the movie and if possible a themed dinner. Charlotte's Web was the first book we did that with. Again through Pintrest I found
this activity. So while John was away on business this week the kids and I made our own pizzas (yes with crust from scratch) and then when Libby went down we watched the movie. It was a really fun night and something both kids really enjoyed. Looking forward to doing it again with other books!

| Libby, of course, was our little helper. As long as she's part of the action she is beyond happy. |

| My pizza I made for Libby (Baby) |
 |
| Jamie's Pizza for Anne (it says Sister but he covered it with "webs") |
 |
| Anne's Pizza for Jamie-"Wild" |
 |
| Anne's Pizza for me-"Mom" |

| And note Libby in the background happy as a clam. |

How cute & fun!! Lol'ed at the "as I'm crying I look over & see Jamie picking a booger & Anne asks what's for dessert."
For some reason, at first glance, I thought that Libby sitting on the counter was Jamie! (?!)
