Books You'll Love to Read With Your Little Ones

8.05.2012

August Currently

Okay, I've been away from the computer all weekend while Steven finished his work for grad school, so I'm WAY behind in reading posts. May not actually catch up, but I'll try my best. I did, however, see that the new currently was up and HAD to participate!


I've been getting more videos of Keagan because he's doing lots of funny things now. He loves his dogs and pets them all the time (and occasionally grabs their lip a little too hard where they wimper - well, once). He actually screams when John leaves him! Today I got a video of him playing the piano at his Grammy and Papaw's house. He wasn't too bad if I may say so myself! I can't believe this is the last week I have with him for the summer. It's going to be hard to go back to school and only see him in the evenings...

I'm hoping to get into my classroom at least once this week because it's in desperate need of some ME organization. I like to have things exactly the way I want them so I know where everything is, so that means I need to go through everything and figure it out. It's also in major need of some decor. It kind of depresses me right now because there's NOTHING on the walls. We just bought more ink for the printer, so I'll be looking for cute, colorful things to add!

As for books, I just started (and am over halfway finished) with Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes.
Have you read it? I was told it was better than House Rules, but I didn't believe it was possible. OMG! Warning: It's about a school shooting (you figure that out in the first chapter), so it's not a light read by any means. None of her books are, but she has definitely become one of my favorites.

As for Keagan needing a sitter, we have one week left. Eeek! I really shouldn't procrastinate so much.

The three must needs are kind of self-explanatory. I got one of those new pencil sharpeners that everyone's talking about from Classroom Friendly Supplies at the very end of the school year, and I can't wait to use it!
SOLD OUT! Groovy Green
They're sold out right now, but I did see that they're going to have a new Firehouse Red as well as this green and their blue one. I will have a blog review about this once the school year starts.

I didn't buy a brand new outfit specifically for school this year, but I will have to go through my wardrobe and pick something I got this summer to wear. Then I will have to download all of my new fun fonts onto my new school computer (and try to figure out how to get them to temporarily take off deep freeze so they stay).

Right now I have a hubby who wants to spend time with me (he's so sweet!), so I need to exit blogging world. Go link up with Farley!

Great Currently! Food Network is awesome. Plus I just checked out your top bar of other blog pages. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Gilmore Girls. I like the reading list. How did I not stumble on that years ago? Awesome!
