This all started when Youngest Son found a copy of Roald Dahl's 'The Witches'.
He had been reading the same book at school, so when I saw this copy I didn't recognise, I assumed it was that one - but no, it was from the high school library.
Hapless Oldest Son, who left high school this year, has never been great at finishing his reading books and turned out to have quite a collection of old school library books in his room.
It's a bit strange they hadn't asked for them back, but perhaps the pandemic had something to do with it.
This left Middle Son with the unenviable job of returning them, but he took it on bravely, and luckily it turned out there was a box for returning books at the library door. Job done, to relief all round!
Meanwhile, youngest son has become so enthusiastic about reading more Roald Dahl books that he looked up Roald Dahl's website and found it was Roald Dahl Story Day on September 13th.
He's a great organiser, and he came up with a whole day of activities for this: cooking with the help of Oldest Son and their Roald Dahl Revolting Recipes book, story times, and printable crafts from the Roald Dahl website. I was still laid up with Covid so all I had to do was printing and encouragement.
I'm sure this could be said better, but we have the full range of organisational habits in this family, and I'm so lucky with all of them. To use the stereotypical blogger hashtag for the first time, #soblessed...
