Most of the things that I do with the kids are ideas that I get from my mom, friends, or the internet. This time I thought of something on my own. I woke up one morning and thought, "I want to have a read-a-thon with my kids today." I loved read-a-thons in elementary school. So we popped popcorn, got out all of our valentines sweets, grabbed special drinks, pillows, and blankets and cozied up on Ethan's bedroom floor. I got down every book we own and let the kids take turns picking a book for me to read to them. It lasted for about an hour and a half!
Towards the end the kids started to read some of their favorites to me. That was my favorite part. To hear their version of the stories that I have read them over and over and over. Here are some of their favorites that they practically have memorized.
We had a fun time and it is an activity that I highly reccomend. It is a perfect rainy day activity and I know we will be doing this again.

This is something my kids LOVE doing, too! What a good idea to read during the day, and not only before naps/bed-time. Thanks for sharing!
