@losingrace ugh. its so rough. our 9 year old heard the news when we had it on about MI and now has been so scared when they have had their last 2 drills.
@LindseyHein he's up to book 3 now and it's only been a month since we started the series. our 7-year-old is equally obsessed. we just got the first 4 books that are illustrated and those are a huge hit too if you are looking for holiday ideas!
@LindseyHein our 3rd grader is devouring harry potter right now. we started him by reading him the first and then he just took over because he couldn't wait for our one chapter a night. our son likes wayside school too.
