A Double Feature

tales of a fourth grade nothing by: Judy Blume is a funny book about how to deal with little brothers or sisters. I think it will help me when we adopt another kid. The second book is one that my Mother picked out at Borders. The book is called THE CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE (a Newbery Honor Book) by: George Selden. She couldn't remember what it was about since it was probably more than 20 years since she read it, but she just remembered that she really liked it. She was right I LOVED this book. Now that I am finished she is re-reading it. With both of our school years wrapping up we haven't had time to do much crafting, but be patient we have lots of plans for the summer!

WORDY GURDY OF THE WEEK: the answer to last week's was splash/cake mix=splatter/batter. This weeks W.G. is petite/toy baby.

COOL FACT: only female mosquitos bite....and mosquitos are attracted to the color blue more than any other color.

P.S. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR COMMENTS FROM SOME OF YOUR KIDS IF YOU ARE READING THIS!!! I DON'T MIND ADULT COMMENTS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE MY HEIGHT.

The Best Book Ever!

The Bible has a lot of interesting stories in it. This book comforts me when I'm scared. I especially like the story about Moses & Pharao. Another favorite of mine is the story about Elijah & Elisha. If you haven't read it lately you should!
***editors note: when my mother-in-law first gave this Bible story book to her I thought it would be nice for her to read me a chapter a night, but she sat there and read the whole thing cover to cover in one afternoon! As you can see by the cover she has read it many times over.

Our Grand Debut!

This is a great book by Beverly Cleary. It starts out with everybody calling her a pest especially her big sister. To top it all off it rains on her first day of kindergarten and she has to wear some ugly hand-me-down boots. Can it get any worse...well you'll just have to read it and find out!

Wordy Gurdy Of The Week: Naughty Boy (see side bar for example.)

Cool Fact: Dolphins sleep with one eye opened.
