Quiet couple of days around here in that thankfully-slow-summer-sort-of-way.
Working on projects that capture my attention for a few minutes until Simon pulls me away to play Shape Detectives
or some other perfectly fun game. He starts his summer school program in early July so I am trying to savor these moments rather than wishing them away.
Finished The Tenth Circle (good but not fantastic) and I think I have finally gotten into The Poisonwood Bible. For some reason I have started and stopped that one at least three times, always failing to keep going. As of right now I think I have passed the point of putting it down again and am into the story and the writing (it is one of those books that people have told me they absolutely loved).
And now Simon is ready to watch The Backyardigans on the computer.
Thanks for the book recommendations! I'm going to add them to my list.
Oh my kids love The Backyardigans. We watch them on Nogggin + the kids play games on the internet too. Great site.

we downloaded the backyardigans songs so we could sing them in the car! (short trips only, please)
really enjoyed Poisonwood, i would also recommend Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.
continue to enjoy the lazy days of summer!

I have no idea if you will even see this but here goes anyways. I Just finished My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. I loved the book, but did not love the way she wrote this book and was wondering about her others and how she writes them. This book changed perpectives every chapter and I put the book down two times before I finished it because of this. However truley a wonderful book once you get past this. I was checking her others out tonight and just could not decide to buy one until I hear someone eles's oppinon. Would love to hear from you.

My kids LOVE the Backyardigans.
You've been tagged. Why - you're a favorite scrapper of mine - our kids are similar.
You're undoubtedly very busy, but maybe you'll find the time to play. It's fun.
Head to my blog to read the rules.

I totally agree with you about the 10th Circle--but if you have not yet read her new book, 19 Minutes--do so! It is fabulous, disturbing and I found I truly cared about these characters. I cried several times--something I rarely do while reading a book. I finished it over a week ago and still find myself thinking of it alot.
