Uh Oh

4 more days of formal schooling left, and my 11 year old voracious reader has just found and opened up a copy of The Fellowship of the Ring.

His ambition is to finish it so that when his vacation starts he can sit up at night with Mom and Dad and watch the movie.

I think I'm going to need to call in some reinforcements if I have any hope of doing Math today.

:)


We just finished watching the trilogy, but I'm game for another go 'round. Who wouldn't be?

I love the movies. I didn't read the books until after I'd seen the first two movies--I read the third because I wanted to find out what happened! But I love them now, and Eowyn is my favorite character.
Do you have all the extended versions, or do you watch the theatrical releases?

We have all the extended versions and just finished all. of. them.

I'm hoping to convince Action Man that he needs to read the entire trilogy before we start. That will give me at least 3-4 more days reprieve.

He is BURNING through Fellowhip.

Yea! Love the books, love the movies. You can never have too much LOTR. You'll just have to find some way to work them into the math lesson.

I really want the extended version of the Two Towers but I can't find it anywhere. :(
