Owlowiscious Girls

I haven't posted in awhile but here is a book that was a favorite during the week we were working on the letter D.  My girls love dinosaurs especially the 3 year old.  The baby likes to chew on the action figures and the 5 year old likes to ride the big red apatosaurus that my husband had when he was a kid.  So naturally Danny and the Dinosaur was a big hit.  Ariana picked this one has her personal favorite this week.  Her favorite thing that Danny and the dinosaur did together was play Hide and Seek.  She said if she had her own dinosaur she would name it Holly.  Hermione has been asking if certain things are real or not and dinosaurs have been asked about on numerous occasions.  It gave me to opportunity to explain extinction again.  She knows the story of creation and a vague idea that many believe it took millions of years for the world to form, but of course we are not into anything truly controversial as far as evolution vs. creat...

We know it isn't Halloween.  My kids don't care.  This week I didn't have my Library List prepared so I let the kids go crazy and pick whatever they wanted.  I usually let them pick some thing on their own, but I also pick things for them as well.  It seems like every time I let them go wild picking books they pick books that are holiday themed (not around the time of said holiday). This one is so much fun!  There maybe some of you who don't celebrate Halloween or have a big thing against ghosts, witches, werewolves, and mummies (all are in the book), but we try to explain what each of these things are to our girls because people around them are going to talk about them.  My girls actually know about aliens and zombies, too. I am not going to go into a huge debate post about whether or not Christians should celebrate Halloween.  I honestly think there are more important things to discuss for the most part.  If this is a personal stumbling block ...

We like to stay up late like owls and watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  We love to read together.  We love to eat sweet and colorful treats.  This blog will be purely about our entertainment choices and mostly what we read together and what mommy reads alone, too. So pull up a chair, grab a book and a bag of Skittles or M&Ms if you prefer chocolate...come read with us.  Here is a video I hope will make you SMILE.
