Library Days - 5/8, 5/15, 5/22

      I somehow managed to miss a week of library book pictures... but oh well I guess! It's been crazy busy since the boys' birthdays, so I'm trying to get all caught up. So, here are our library books from 4, 3 and 2 weeks ago. 

Here are the books from the week of 5/8. We read the book The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear for school, and it was a really cute story. The boys liked it and we had to read it again later that night. It's basically about a little mouse that the "reader" is tricking the mouse into sharing half his strawberry so the "bear" nearby doesn't eat it. Good stuff. Definitely worth a read if you have a kiddo. 

There are books from the week of 5/15. We had Wade's favorite book again this week, Press Here. I guess I'll just have to go ahead and buy him that one so we don't have to reserve it once a month! Lol! Otherwise nothing too interesting to report. We read another Magic Tree House book, which of course is always good. 

Finally, here are the books from the week of 5/22. For some reason we didn't get through quite as many books that week, and no real favorites to report. Pick A Pumpkin Miss Millie was one of our random shelf picks, and it turned out to be pretty good. Definitely check it and Five Little Monkeys Trick or Treat out at Halloween time! (Or if you're my kids... all...year...long... haha). More to come hopefully next week! 

Mother's Day Crafts!

For Mother's Day this year, we decided to make a fun new art project! I saw a few ideas online, and ended up going with making handprint potholders! I don't have a link for this one, but it's pretty self explanatory. I just got some potholders, put out some paint, and we got to work. They thought it was a ton of fun, and they did a great job making sure the handprints looked good! I wrote the words on it since the writing was in paint, but I'm thinking next year they'll be doing that part themselves too. They turned out super cute!
