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

Charlotte's Web
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!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
