A Few Good Reads.

Kingston and Cole are two very lucky boys.  As we walked into my parents' home last night for family dinner Thursday, my mom surprised them both with a big bag of books - a few discarded from her elementary school library and a few new.  Kingston could hardly contain his excitement... and he has been enjoying looking through each and every one of them today.

My personal favorites?  The discarded ones from the library.  They have some great illustrations in them, are easy reads... and who doesn't love a book still complete with a barcode and library book card pocket?  Pretty much in love.

Books, Cars, and One Sick Boy.

Last Thursday, the hubs came home early from work with a stomach bug.  We did our best to keep our distance from him... but Kingston ended up catching the same thing.  The past day and a half we have been working on lots of laundry, watching lots of cartoons, reading piles of books, taking a few baths, drinking cups of water and apple juice, and just hoping our sweet big boy would start to feel better soon.  

When he pulled out his cars and started lining them about around lunch time today, I began to think he just might be pulling through.  

My new wish?  That our house is too squeaky clean to carry that darn bug around anymore and no one else gets sick in our household.  We'll see.
