Inspired.

After reading "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda" and it's sequel "Darth Paper Strikes Back", Ian and I fell in love with reading together each evening and decided to keep it going with a new series of books.

We did it!  We've read all 6 books of "The Diary of Wimpy Kid" series.  It's quite impressive when you think about it.  We started the books (they are each 217 pages long) at the beginning of January and by mid-March, they were all read.   Now, this is in addition to the nightly reading his school requires, the homework Ian has each week, and of course the reading Jeff does (think: Scooby-do books) each night before bed.

 Once we started nearing the end of the last book, Ian asked if I would get him "The Wimpy Kid: Do-It-Yourself Book".   You don't have to ask me twice to get Ian something that he wants to practice his writing.  He actually brings this book to school with him and will write in it (with his friends) during snack time.  How cute is that!?!?

Oh, how I would love to give you all a glimpse of what Ian is writing about, but I will respect his privacy and not publish it.  Please know, that it is super cute and it is about a girl!
