Raine and I recently came across a new to us set of kids books while out garage sale(
ing). There are a series of books that are "written" in a random notebook style by a girl named Amelia. She fills these books with ideas like what to do during long car rides, 51 ways to beat boredom, school survival guide, etc. They are very cute and filled with some funny stories and a lot of great ideas. Raine was able to pick up 2 at a garage sale for .50 each and has been enjoying reading them randomly ever since. Last night she read about Amelia's making a list of approved / disapproved foods to put on the frig for her mother. She essentially takes a piece of paper makes a yes and no column and writes in all the things that she would like to see or not like to see for dinner. I thought this was hilarious and considering that Raine is so food oriented would be a lot of fun to do together before we went to bed last night instead of watching TV. It was an instant hit! At the last minute I made a few rules about doing 1 at a time and sounding out / spelling all of our own suggestions and it turned out to be a creative learning activity as well as a lot of laughs. She is such a funny kid sometimes and so imaginative in her choices! I have put her final list below in its' original form (spellings and all)...
