Are You Ready For Football?

My house is starting to hum with excitement....we are getting ready for football’s biggest game of the year, the Super Bowl.

My eight year-old-son cannot wait. He has picked his team: the Colts, he has his jersey pressed and ready, #18 Peyton Manning, and we are working on our menu. Everyone in my house loves the Super Bowl, not just for the game, but what else, the food! It is an evening for hearty fare and a bit of the unhealthy too!

I just found a recipe for pizza bites on Annie’s Eats blog that will be perfect for our evening. I found some fun ideas to keep the children busy during the game on the Suite 101 blog. They will be playing hide and go seek with a football, having a cookie decorating contest, or maybe a cheerleading contest.

Saints or Colts? Who are you rooting for this year? Let us know!

2010 Book Awards!

Last week, The American Library Association announced their top awards for the year. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead won the coveted John Newberry Medal and The Lion and The Mouse by Jerry Pinkney won the Randolph Caldecott Medal.

Each year, my children and I love to read the winning books and talk about why they were selected. Sometimes we agree with the American Library Association and sometimes, we don’t. My children’s school library gets the kids excited about this annual award by having the children vote for their favorite picture book of the year. It is wonderful to see kids getting excited about reading!
