Yesterday, we started reading "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien.  I really enjoy reading this book.  It is written so well that you can see it in your mind as you read it.  The first chapter is very funny with Gandalf and the thirteen dwarves making their first appearances.  Since the first chapter involves "Tea" and inviting over guests, we talked about hospitality and being prepared for guests.

Today Cameron wanted to invite over some friends he hasn't seen in a very long time but I told him that like in the book, guests would have to wait until he did his part by cleaning and preparing the house for guests.  We'll see if he really wants to have friends over to play. 

So far, Cameron really likes the book.  He told me he thought it would be boring but now he's looking forward to reading the next chapter!
