I got a couple of toots this week.

• JD came home from a sleepover at a neighbors house right on time and I didn’t even have to call and remind him!
• EL is starting to read a little. She knows _an and _at words and has knows a lot of the basics, such as cat, dog, mom, and dad. I am so proud of her.

Today I am going to share my kids favorite summer reads.  I have a 4 year old, a 12 year old, and a 14 year old.  So you can see that we have a variety of summer reads in our house.

Here are my four year old daughters favorites:

My sister brought me some Amish Friendship Bread Starter when she visited me from Kentucky.  This morning was baking day.  So instead of making the original recipe, I made sourdough bread.  You can find the recipe for the starter and the variations at Armchair World.  Here are the results, what do you think?

Isn’t that the coolest thing? I can’t wait to try it!
