For Tommy’s birthday, we were going to have a field trip to Santa Barbara, but due to torrential rain, we opted for a plan B: a cuddle up and read day at our house! For breakfast, Tommy requested cinnamon rolls, fruit salad, and bacon. Pretty exciting.
After we ate, the kids played with Tommy’s new birthday presents, I read from our current family read-aloud (The Adventures of Robin Hood), Sunde read from their current family read-aloud (Island of the Blue Dolphins), and we played musical books–just like musical chairs, but with books.



Reading club on the top bunk!
Some rainy days, you just need to spend the day in your pajamas with buddies. Elizabeth has already requested the same kind of party for her birthday!
