Have I mentioned...

how much I love, love, love, 'Anne of Green Gables?' Well when Lily was freshly 4 I became a little ambitious and decided I would read it to her and then we would watch it in perfect mother/daughter harmony on some rainy Saturday. 3 pages in the questions started, 'Where's the pictures?', 'What are they talking about?', 'Is this almost over?' Well, I have found the perfect blend of pictures and literature in these great books. Embarrassing as it is, I still teared up when Matthew died, hope that wasn't a spoiler. We just finished it, and it's cold and rainy outside. Dreams do come true!

Reading Rainbow

I think the guy's name was Lavar Burton, or something like that. I'm going to sound a little like him. If your into sustainable living, hobby farms, or the like you will want to check out 'Ox-Cart Man.' Here's the link to buy it. http://www.amazon.com/Ox-Cart-Man-Donald-Hall/dp/0140504419/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235757180&sr=8-2

Amelia Bedelia

Remember these books? They are charming, funny, and a good English reminder. The book is full of being mindful of phraseology. Amelia's told to go prune the bushes, so she sticks prunes on the bushes. She's told to ice the fish, so she literally ices the fish (with chocolate icing). Our favorite is when she pitches the tent, right into the woods. The best part is that you can find them in easy reading form for budding readers. Happy reading!
