Nothing Like a Good Book to Keep them Quiet

Love that my family is a reading family. That my kids curl up like this together and lose themselves in pages and words.

I love it when it is quiet and peaceful in our home...wish it was more often:).

Oh and I am madly hatting over at Mad Hatters today. Trying to work my bad hair:). Check it out: @madhatters
Terrific! I'm going to tag my sister @mbemis

This is so adorable! I am glad your children have learned the joys of reading early. A fav

@cejaanderson @soboy5 Thank you so much, guys. Yes, they like tv and electronics, but we put more emphasis on books here. It's always been one of my favorite things to do with them...snuggle up and read. Mike and I read side by side before bed most every night, too. TV pales in comparison to a good book!

Instant fav for off the scale sweetness!

@linnypinny Aw, thanks, my friend!! It warmed my heart to see this!
March 20th, 2015  
Ditto what @linnypinny said. Going straight into my favorites. Kudos to your and your husband for fostering that love of reading.

I am sure that they have a healthy balance between reading and playing - even if it is noisy! :-) Great shot! I love that they both have their heads down - so relaxed!

March 20th, 2015  
Oh how sweet, and a fantastic shot.
March 20th, 2015  
Awww:) I wonder what he is reading?!
March 20th, 2015  
@teiko An I Survived The Chicago Fire book. He loves that series of fictitious accounts of real events.
March 20th, 2015  
Very cool. I love historical fiction too. @amandal
March 20th, 2015  
Awww, a super precious shot, Amanda!
March 20th, 2015  
@teiko me, too. You ever read Ken Follett? One of my faves.
March 20th, 2015  
@amandal love Follett, although was disappointed with Edge of Eternity.
March 20th, 2015  
@teiko Was that one of the WW trilogy books? Last one? I liked those ok. Pillars of the Earth and Jackdaws and that boy who flew the plane in WWII ones the best:).
March 20th, 2015  
what a great moment you have captured...
March 20th, 2015  
Love that your kids love to read... I read and read to my son, hoping he would develop a love for reading, unfortunately he did not. Cute photo!
March 20th, 2015  
Lovely shot.
March 20th, 2015  
Very cute capture. Fav!! 😃
March 20th, 2015  
great detail and focus
March 20th, 2015  
i love shots like this. Family harmony, the love of books. Such a comforting and comfy spot to lose oneself in their book. Kids who don't grown up reading will miss an important piece in their lives as they grow up. Love this.
March 20th, 2015  
love this great in B&W
March 20th, 2015  
They look completely immersed, great shot :-)
March 20th, 2015  
Haha, yes, our on the couch theme. Lovely shot!
March 20th, 2015  
@overalvandaan Wish mine had a cool wheelbarrow!!!
March 20th, 2015  
Super shot, Amanda!
March 20th, 2015  
This is so sweet Amanda. My daughter loved books so much she was always really envious of Belle from Beautify and the Beast because she got to go into that amazing library!
March 20th, 2015  
Sweet.
March 20th, 2015  
Awwww... Sweet little bookends :)
March 20th, 2015  
Indeed!
March 20th, 2015  
This is really cute, and I agree completely with you. Jane said you are fun to follow because you are funny, dramatic and a good writer. Those all sound like good reasons, so I'll follow you back!
March 20th, 2015  
Sweet!

Ideal kids ;)
March 21st, 2015  
This is sooooo cute and sooooooooooo unusual for me to see!!! My kids NEVER were readers when they were little, but now they love to read!! I really like how your son reads, reminds me of me when I wanted to read something under the covers, that is how I would curl up!!! LOL Had my flashlight on and read spooky stories!! They look so little on that big couch!!! FAV!
March 21st, 2015
