Recent Reads- Children's Books

One thing about working in a library is looking at all the books. Lately I've been making displays for the children's section, so I've been going through all the books. And every day I kept seeing all of these hilarious children's books that I just had to show Sammy. Finally I just checked a bunch out and brought them home.

To my surprise, he was delighted, and we spent the rest of the night reading these children's books to each other. 
It was so much fun! Frank the Monster Who Loved to Dance is so hilarious. While he's dancing his brain falls out, then his eyes, then his his arm, and so on. 

Larf is a Sasquatch who hears that another Sasquatch is going to be in town, and things go from there. 

Freddie and Gingersnap are a dragon and a dinosaur who teach each other to fly. Honestly, there were a few plot holes in this one, so I don't know if I'd read it again. The idea and the drawings were cute though. 

The Glow book I picked simply from the color. 

Sammy the Seal is an oooolllddd classic but I had to get it because of the title. 

The Grumpy Pets is definitely one of my favorites. The little pets faces are fantastic. 

Zen Socks is pretty long and wordy as far as kid's books go. I got tired of the story and started summarizing, only because I wanted to move onto a different book. 

The winner for best book though is Llama Llama Red Pajama. I love these series of books. That little llama is so dramatic and makes the best faces, and I just love it. The llama is in bed and wants a drink of water and his momma takes her time bringing it to her, and he gets pretty upset. I went to bed earlier than Sammy that night, and yelled the llama lines at him, and he yelled the mama lines back, and it was pretty hilarious. 

I will definitely be doing this again, and can't wait to show my future kids some of these books one day.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
