Books and Children. Two of my favorite things.

This evening I attempted to go through my Amazon wish list and figure out what book I want to buy next month.  Ha!  I’m approaching 300 items on my list.  It appears that I am getting behind in my reading.  They aren’t all books.  There are probably about 10 games, 5 or 6 pieces of sheet music, and several soundtracks from classic films and Broadway plays.  But still.  My husband wants to know where I’m going to put all of them.  We have a whole wall of books in the living room, and some upstairs for kids, and in my room.  The guest room?  :).  Picking one book…I may as well point a finger at a random spot on the computer screen and get that one.  (I figure I could spend $1000 on books without wincing.  Don’t worry Shawn, I won’t do it…right now.)

Teddy is out of a cast and into a boot.  He doesn’t mind, and it sure doesn’t seem to hamper his walking.  Olie got all of his chores done this morning, and his school so he could go play.  He’s in a “super-excited about learning everything” stage.  Xander is really into pushing everyone else off Mom’s lap; he OWNS me right now.  The other kids come sit on my lap just to watch him squeal and come get them off.  It’s become a great game to see how long someone can be there before he notices.  Demetri is getting much better at writing without whining.  I hope someday he learns to love it.  I love them.  I enjoyed being a mom today.  I need to take more pictures.
