We have been planning to have a read-a-thon this summer with the boys. I thought it would be a perfect Sunday activity. I made the boys each a bag of "bookworms" (idea found
here) for them to snack on as they read.
I also planned to do the read-a-thon when Josh was home because Hunter and Lincoln couldn't read for 1 hour by themselves, so I needed josh to read with one of them and I read with one of them. When they are older I will plan it differently.
Each boy picked out a stack of books to read with us (Palmer just had one book he was reading), I also put some books in each of their stacks that I thought they would like. When they were done with their gummy worms I brought them each a bowl of popcorn to keep it fun (snacks=fun right?). I
Each of the boys was in a different room of the house so they wouldn't bug each other. Palmer started out on my bed...ended up on the floor.
It was a lot of fun and the boys loved it and have been asking to do it again.
It was a little challenging with McKay running around snatching everyone's books and snacks. He might be taking a nap the next time we do it :)
