Hello and Happy Wednesday!
And the illustrations are so wonderful…
As are the words that accompany them…
The next two books on our favorites list are not books with Biblical messages, however, they are wonderful old books that embrace the traditional role of family.
One being, Richard Scarry’s Best Story Book Ever… {thanks, MommaSis and Annmarie}
And second, being my personal favorite by Richard Scarry, What Do People Do All Day?…
This copy belonged to Justin as a child, it clearly has been read a few times and will continue to be read until it can no longer be read. The girls absolutely love Lowly Worm, he’s always hiding in the most unpredictable places, who knew a worm could be so entertaining?
Here are a few glimpses behind the cover…
If you’re in the market for new or old books, you can’t go wrong with any of these! What are your favorites?
Be back soon…
Justin was out of town all weekend. It’s hard when he’s gone, we miss him a lot but I’ve come to recognize I tend to be more intentional with the children when he’s gone; we plan our meals, fill our days, make time for fun outings, etc. I’m not at all suggesting he leave more often, but perhaps weekends like this are good for revealing areas I could do much better at in the motherhood department.
She was so good and with the promise of some Care Bear fruit snacks she did just as she was asked.
Not the pink chapstick, I know that’s not normal. I’m referring to the fact that he stays right under me most of the day. The girls have always been happy to play in other rooms with toys, this little guy wants nothing to do with being in a room that I’m not in. I’m not complaining, I know one day he’ll pretend he wants nothing to do with me. 🙂 Now if I could just convince him to let me hold him and rock him like little tiny baby. He likes to be close to me, just not that close.
