The Return of the King -- Stories on the sheets

So awhile back I posted about how I never seem to find the time to read. Partially because I'm a slow reader, and you couple that with being tired, I usually get about 1 or 2 pages and is off to snooze-ville.

I started on some audiobooks that I listened two while in the car. First it was the classic novel "The Heart of Darkness". I then moved onto the The Fellowship of the Ring. I completed all 16 discs of that book, and the 14 disk from "The Two Towers". I've now recently started on "The Return of the King".

Along with our boys recent religious spout, they are also running around arguing "I am Legolas". "No!! I AM Legolas". Poor Gimli, nobody even wants to be Gimli. Sometimes Evans will be Aragorn or Gandolf. We don't read books at bed either.

As bedtime I gather a semi random assortment of stuffed animals who will play the parts of one of our heroes (or villains) from our Lord of the Rings tails. Night after night its the Hobbits and Gollum on their journey into Mordor. Or is Merry and Pippin and Treebeard.

Oh what fun. It keeps all our imaginations running wild. Who would have guess that Papa and his audiobooks would lead to such fun story time each night..

Peace
