It's Starting to Feel Like Summer!



This evening we had Mindi, Savannah and Katelyn over for dinner. It was so nice being outside outside. Katelyn and Eleanor had a blast running around and acting like wild-crazy knott heads! I'm sure Eleanor is know around Harvest Homes as the "little white trash girl". I try to keep clothes on her, I swear.

I am loving the warm weather- both my girls were in bed tonight at 9pm! All the playing wears them out! Tonight after their baths we sat in bed and read from my new favorite book. While reading it we came across the story "Miss Nelson Is Missing". I had forgotten all about this book and was so excited to read it! After reading it once, Eleanor asked me to read it two more times. Just a few weeks ago I ordered a ton of children's books. Most of them were ones I loved as a child. It's been so much fun reading them to Eleanor and finding that she too is loving them. Our favorites are: Corduroy, Tikki Tikki Tembo, The Velveteen Rabbit, Make Room for Ducklings and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I remember as a little girl my dad used to read to us at nights and I loved it (I'm still trying to find a copy of the book he used to read from) and I hope Eleanor loves it as much. Most days it's easier to read to her in the mornings, but tonight was a good reading night!

Corduroy is one of our favorites as well. I love Children's books-I find that when I go into a book store that I head right over to the kid's section. Love these pictures!
