Icky Boys

I'm home! I had a FABULOUS Time Out and look forward to showing you a few goodies I picked up just for you! Don't forget to come back tomorrow to get in on the giveaway!

In the meantime...even when I'm physically away from my family I am still connected mentally. Did DK feed the bunny? How did dance class go? And of course I keep an eye out for little treats (much smaller than the Wii) to bring home to them.

I spotted this book and thought the girls would enjoy it. It's written in the American Girl style with colorful, whimsy pictures but talks about true beauty in addition to physical beauty. When I showed Rand the book she quickly flipped through it and looked less than impressed. I asked her what was wrong. She answered, "I do not want to read a book about looking good so I can impress boys!"

How my heart soared! Not because she misunderstood the intent and purpose of the book but because she has no (current) interest in (icky) boys! May she feel this way for a LONG time to come!

I also saw this little book. With such an alluring and yummy-sounding title how could I not get it? I plan on curling up with the family this afternoon and reading it with them! Maybe we'll even make a batch of chocolate chip cookies afterwards!

Finally, I must tell you what an amazing husband I have. I am not a gushy type of wife and for those of you have read my blog for awhile you can attest that I love my hubby but I do not go on and on about him! But let me tell you, while I was gone he did all sorts of little jobs around the house that I hadn't asked him to take care of! He just did them. Amazing! He fixed a broken piece from my vacuum cleaner, he cleaned under the oven and leveled it, and he remembered to feed the bunny (phew!). This is in addition to remembering to take Kenners to dance class, feed them, make sure they brush their teeth, take baths, feed them, make their beds, tidy up, feed them, and all other things that are involved in rearing children. He is my super man! I can't help but to sing his praises!
