The simplicity of childhood

The children have been encouraged to read as part of a Book It Club for School. They earn points and rewards and if they reach the goal their teacher set, the earn a personal pizza from Pizza Hut. Anyway, they are to be reading about 15 minutes a day. Well, it was a gorgeous day here today, so I sent Jeremiah outside to read. This is where he decided to read...he found a nice perch about 25 feet up in a tree. I must admit, I think that I am a little jealous. OH, to have the time and freedom (and physical ability) to climb 25 feet into a tree and spend an afternoon reading.
