I read an awesome book called “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” by Brian Selznick.
There are lots of pictures in this easy-to-read book, even though there are 510 pages. It is about an orphan/thief/mechanic named Hugo, who is secretly acting as timekeeper after his mean, drunken uncle dies. In this book, Hugo’s normally undercover life is put out for display when he meets a unique, book-loving girl named Isabelle and an irritable old man named “Papa” Georges. Isabelle and Hugo together find out Papa Georges’ true identity. When people start to find Hugo out, his most precious thing, a broken mechanical man, is put in jeopardy. Will Hugo abandon Isabelle or FIGHT until the end? You have to read this eccentric book to find out!
Hey, HOWCUM it snowed here in Norfolk? What’s up with that? In Fairfax, there was about an inch on the ground, and a good handful of snow and water on the slide that your sister came down on Saturday afternoon at the local school’s gym. We told the kids to stay off the slides because they were too wet, but Millie had other plans! But she was really so good all week-end until the very end that we just whisked her home for dry pants ’cause it was CHILLY! Hopefully the next time we go up there, we can get to the BIG park we we headed for on Sunday. Maybe if Mommy comes, too. We all had fun and Max and Millie play so well together. Did you get your project done?
We just got a foot of snow up here, and Connor really enjoyed throwing snowballs at me!
