Recently I have been checking out books that I enjoyed in my youth. I have a nine year old daughter that I have been sharing them with. The most recent is The Mouse and the Motorcycle, by Beverly Cleary. I remember reading this book when I was in second grade. I enjoyed it so much that I talked my parents into buying the series. So, our nightly routine consists of us reading it together. When it's time to go to bed she begs to keep reading! It brings great joy!
It's great to go back and enjoy stories that I grew up with. But we have also been checking out the more recent series. Junie B. Jones has been one that Rachel enjoys a lot. Another favorite is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series!
Reading is very important to us! It's awesome to be able to spend that quality time together to end the day. So, I am including a short story that I have recently written. I am putting this up a little early, which means that there hasn't been much editing, but I'm doing it anyway. I hope you enjoy the silliness of it and maybe read it to a little one you know. Spend that quality time together! There's nothing better!

Patrick Python Can’tStop Laughing
One eye opened,then the other. It couldn’t behelped. A teeter here…and a snickerthere. It rumbled low and slowly workedits way up. Then, when it couldn’t becontained anymore, KABOOM, itexploded like an active volcano! PatrickPython sat straight up in bed and let out the biggest hoot you ever heard. “AHHH HAHA HAHAHA HAHA!”
It was earlySaturday morning and Patrick had the snickers. No, he had the giggles. Well,actually no one really knew what it was.
Patrick snorkedand chortled as he got ready for the day. He hee haw’d and ha ha’d. Hecouldn’t go more than a minute or so with a straight face. Patrick had it bad.
He shot milk outof his nose when he tried to eat his breakfast.
He sprayedtoothpaste all over the bathroom mirror as he brushed his teeth.
He annoyedeveryone on the bus as they headed to school.
Patrick even madehis best friend, Molly, feel sad because she thought he was laughing at her newhair cut.
When class startedPatrick still couldn’t stop laughing. Sothe teacher sent him to the office.
When the principalgave Patrick detention, he still laughed…only harder!
Principal Quillsdid not like how Patrick was acting and called home.
