:D



Seriously, that's all I've got to say to you lot today.


Plus, I'm busy thinking up something nefarious to do with DUers photos.

3. Some of my least favorite books!
Seriously! You can never be done reading it. My kids want to talk about every single thing on every single page.

5. We just got Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
We spent last night looking at each page, trying to find Goldbug.

I remember doing that as a kid. I had never forgotten that book, and reading it again was magic.

:D

7. It's the illustrations that really sell those books.
The writing is nothing special, but the pictures are fun. Kids just love to find all the little details.

8. I used to "read" those when I was a kid...
of course I couldn't read back then, so I just looked at the pictures. But I remember totally loving those books. Now you've made me wonder if maybe they're still around somewhere at my parent's place in Vienna. Got to check next time I'm up there....
