Are you ready to RRRRRRRRead?

Our school participates in the Jazz Read-a-thon each year and what a great way to start it- with a three day weekend! After dentist appointments and getting my flat, tread worn tires fixed, we built a fort full of pillows, couch cushions, blankets and BOOKS! We spent the whole afternoon reading. {I would definitely say we spent our afternoon "in the cozy" Jill!} It was a perfect way to spend a frigid holiday! If only more days could be this good! (minus the dentist appointments and flat tire!!)

What a cool idea to build a fort for reading! I think I would have totally been more into it when younger if it would have been fun like this.

Ahhh, bliss! Maybe your kids enjoyed it so much you could make it a Saturday night ritual? OK, wishful thinking, I know, but isn't it great when you can involve your kids in an activity you really like?

Such a great idea. I will have to plan one of our own. I loved read-a-thons.

Great visual.

What a great way to spend your day off! I spent my morning in the cozy reading too. How fun.

Sounds like a great winter's afternoon! Did Ethan join in? I can just imagine if we tried this, Eva would be crawling all over everyone, pulling at us, etc. Maybe in a couple of years...

I want to go to that cozy, what fun. I used to love to build forts when I was little.
