What happens at 5pm?



For us, it means, Lisa reading to her siblings and their friends 1- 2 books for a little story time; a nice downtime before heading back home for dinner. She just recently started it last week and have had much success. She has read anywhere from elementary math related stories to Berenstain Bears and Mercer Mayer books. Even a couple of good short stories from Highlights didn't escape Lisa's repertoire. The kids love it; they get read to and a treat at the end of 20 minutes. Today, they were even rewarded with a brief game of Charades to help them escape the humid heatwave.

Here's some of her audience:

This is the first day we decided to do it... Great turn out!




This is the day after...







It became a daily thing...



Here's some Berenstain Bears...







Lisa reading from September Highlights





Too hot outside...




And today...










Jas and Ian love to go and remind their friends, but it's more exciting when the kids themselves remind Jas and Ian that it's close to 5 o'clock, "story time..."

Lisa also has her own book review site, check it out!
