- You guys remember Gone Reading? I mentioned them a couple months ago? They are offering a 25% off coupon code in hopes of making 2012 a record setting year. Use BOOKSLISTSLIFE25 on everything except bookends, good through March 13. There are a couple of shirts there that I wouldn't mind having.
- The Pirate had his parent teacher conference today. It was mostly all good, except that he's started sleeping in class lately. He's six! He tells me it's because it's so BORING. Kid, tell me about it. Just don't read ahead in your book, cause when it's your turn to read you'll have no idea what page you're supposed to be on.
- The Princess has been sleeping much better this week, until this morning she woke up at 4:45 and was apparently up for the day.
- The Bug, the Princess and I went to meet a new playgroup this week. It went very well, super friend people, some craftiness. The Princess enjoyed it so much she cried all the way home.
- I spruced up the blog this week, so if you haven't stopped by, please do. I am eventually going to put pictures back into the header, once I have some recent ones of my boys.
What I Read This Week:
- Looks suspiciously like last week, only I actually finished some of them!
- Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller. Finished.
- The Magic Room: A Story About the Love We Wish for Our Daughters by Jeffrey Zaslow. Finished.
- Only Us: A Fool's Gold Holiday by Susan Mallery. Very short Kindle book that goes with the other Fool's Gold books I read last year. Finished.
- Make the Bread, Buy the Butter: What You Should and Shouldn't Cook from Scratch -- Over 120 Recipes for the Best Homemade Foods by Jennifer Reese. Still reading.
- Falling for Hamlet by Michelle Ray. Still reading. This one is the logjam in my life lately. It HAS to go back on Sunday, so I refuse to let myself start anything new. Only reading one or two books at a time is KILLING me. Gotta sit and wrap this one up so I can move on.
It sounds like the Pirate needs more from school. It seems like the teacher could come up with something for him to do.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, bored at 6 is not a good start to the academic life. I always found school boring, too. They cater to the 'slower' students and then if you are beyond that you really are not challenged and then you get bored. My biggest thing was reading at the pace of the class...
ReplyDeleteI like the new blog look...it is very fresh! LOL to the Pirate sleeping during school. I'm not even sure what I would say to him...did you have a hard time not laughing when the teacher told you??? :P
