Book Basket Day

Back for another week of what is in your Book Basket over at The Happy Housewife. I have not had a chance to go look through the list that other people have linked, but I look forward to settling down soon.



Today has been a fun, but long day. We went to a wild animal show on base and stayed to watch "Race to Witch Mountain." We also visited the library, the post office, a quick run by the grocery store, and then the kids went kind of wild when we got home.



All the running and screaming. I certainly hope that they are tired.



I had to drop off some books and pick up some books we requested and needed. We haven't read these, but look forward to getting into them soon.

• The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein What a sweet story, this is the first time I have read the story to my little boy, that kind of surprised me.


• No Jumping on the Bed by Tedd Arnold


• Be Gentle with the Dog, Dear! by Matthew J. Baek I grabbed this one quickly thinking that it my help us with J's rough actions around our new dog. We'll see.


• Mishka: An Adoption Tale by Adrienne Ehlet Bashita C picked this one out and we have not read it yet.
