Spring Thaw & Celebrity Reading

Check it out!!



It actually felt like spring today and we're totally loving it. Even Penny enjoyed the sunshine streaming into our sunroom.




These shots were taken on our way to Chris's book reading at Barnes & Nobles bookstore.





I've written about this in earlier blog posts, but my husband and a colleague from his elementary school read Harry Potter once a week during their lunch hour. Students can choose to eat their lunch with Mr. Kenward and Mr. Mitton instead of going outside for recess. It's been quite the hit over the last three years. On Saturday afternoon, they read two selected chapters from The Sorcerer's Stone and The Order of the Phoenix as a fund raiser for their elementary school. A percentage of all sales at Barnes & Nobles were donated to their school's library.

Here are a few fun shots.







Josie lasted for about 30 minutes and then decided to go on stage and sit between Chris's legs while he continued to read.





We all had a good time and it looks like it was another great fund raiser for their school.

Looks like the "entertainment" was quite a show!!! What a neat thing Chris does!!! Oh and Susannah has those same Tarjay black shoes with the pink hearts, right? Thanks for your post about the China possibility!

We had a warm day yesterday but today we had 30MPH winds so that sort of put a damper on our thaw!
