Yeah, It's Book Club

I love my book club! I meant to take my camera and take a picture of all my mama friends at book club, but that will have to wait until next month. I love how the group has welcomed new members while keeping the cozy and safe atmosphere needed to have a great conversation. This month we read the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Peel Society. If you haven't read it (you being the 8 people who actually read this blog) PLEASE do and call me or email me and let's chat. It is one of those books I want to make everyone I know read. It's that good.

Mother's Day

Mother's day is always special around here. I am lucky to be the mama in a family of boys who like to make me feel special and loved.

Couched

I mentioned in an earlier post that Jacy and I ordered a new couch. I am so excited and am having a hard time keeping the couch I have in the house. I would like to toss it out even though the new couch doesn't arrive for about 8 more weeks. I put up a picture of our new one above. We chose a different color (blue) but it doesn't look as good on the computer as it does in real life. I also put up some fabric that I bought today for pillows. I love the green and will choose one of the other colors in the fabric shown and find a stripe as well.

Carded

Toddo has been asking for his own library card for months and was so excited when we went to get one yesterday. He proudly filled out his paperwork and chose just the card he wanted. Oh, the joy a little piece of plastic and several thousand books can give.

Alki

Wylie has been feeling under the weather this week. He has had a bit of a fever and grumpiness. He was in desperate need of a trip out. You know when you are sick enough to stay home, but not sick enough to stay in bed? That's W this week. Jacy and I needed to help them burn off some energy so we headed to a wide open, empty beach where boys with runny noses and coughs can play without casting their germs on others.
