World Book Day

World Book Day happened in March.  Besides tokens for free books, the school has a mufti day where the boys had to dress up like a character in their favourite book.  Nicholas insisted that he wanted to be Hiccup and since we have no doubt that his favourite series is 'How to train your dragon' we got him a special outfit for the occasion.  The weather even played along that day, with the fog making London seem like the Isle of Berk!

Nicholas' choice of free books 
(hopefully as successful as last year)
The hair is not his usual style for school
(crazy hair day happened to be on that day)

Rediscovering our old small hardcover books


Can't put it down
(The Magic School Bus Chapter Books)

Intrigued by the maps of Africa in Dad's book about Stanley
(Nicholas has always been fascinated by maps)


Danny also loves books
(he is also excellent at making up stories)

Enough of books?  
Why not a game of chess!

I wanted to make this a more comprehensive post about books, highlighting some of the books we enjoy lately as well as some of the unusual ones I have found for the boys, but I'll have to save that for a different post because I have run out of time.  Something to look forward to!

Book Worms

Few things please me more than the fact that my boys are bookworms. As Nicholas puts it he is the boytjie bookworm, Danny is the babba bookworm and Dad is the big bookworm. In our house books play a major role in the bedtime routine. They are however popular at any time of the day. The boys love being read to but they also enjoy paging through books on their own. It can only be a good thing!

Both boys can often be found near the bookshelf surrounded by books
Sometimes they even share a bookOne sunday morning
10 minutes laterAnother lazy morning
Any book
Any timeAnywhereThey just can't get enough
Best of all is a book (or three) at bedtime
