Children's Books Read This Week


I'm always looking for good book suggestions for my boys. I love reading to them and Monkey is doing really well with reading books himself too. I figured since I'm going to start telling you about the books that I'm currently reading that I would share the books we are reading as a family as well. I didn't keep track of all the books we read this week but we have already got our library books for next week so I can share them at the end.
Books Read This Week

We've been working on Charlotte's Web for a few weeks now. I will read chapter to the boys while they are swinging on the swing set or while they are playing in the pool. It's a fun way to add in stories while they get their wiggles out too. 

A great beginning reader book. As a level 2 book it offers some larger words to help your new reader stay challenged in their reading. Monkey likes this books with it's pictures and the ease of reading of it.



Dr. Seuss is a huge hit in our house. Monkey loves reading these books. He spent a week working on finishing this one. He would read part of it and then take a break and forget where he was so he'd start all over again. Finally I helped him remember his pages so he could finish the book!

Books For Next Week

Can you see a theme for this next week? We are going to be learning all about chickens and chicks. Maybe we should have done some of this reading before we actually had them but it's better late than never. I love mixing fun fiction stories involving the main theme for the week along with older non-fiction books to help us learn as well. It's a great way to do school without feeling like we are actually doing school. This week should be full of fun. I'll let you know what I think about the books after we read them!

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
