*rubs hands gleefully*

Our Amazon package arrived yesterday - it's like Christmas! I have 3 great books I can't wait to read : Feminine Appeal, Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God, and the one I've really been hanging out for, A Chance to Die (biography of Amy Carmichael). I love reading good christian biographies and haven't been able to find much of what I'm after at K**rong so I'm torn between wanting to sit down and read each book at a sitting, and trying to ration myself so I can make them last longer!

Jeremy got some boring books on computers and Greek *yawn*.

A pretty average morning this morning, but that won't prevent me inflicting my musings on blogland! Went to Kmart with my 2 snotty kids and got some megablocks, which X had loved at the cafe we went to on the weekend. I think my kids are too spatially challenged for Duplo at the moment, so we'll give the megablocks a go. X played with 2 of them in the trolley and obviously thought he was one clever lad for putting them together (we have low standards in our family!).

I've been reading a fantastic book over the last few days - it's called "So many books, so little time" by Sara Nelson, and I picked it up randomly at the library, so the fact that I've loved it is a real bonus! It's Sara's journey through a year of reading, which could have been mind-numbingly boring, but is actually very interesting and funny, and has given me a huge list of books to try to chase up and read - yippee!!

Some random sites I've been enjoying recently....

Little bookworm

Xander is obsessed with books at the moment... he'll spend ages turning the pages and exclaiming over everything in the book. He calls every book "goodbook"! One of his favourites is a book about birthdays that Grandma gave me when I was a teenager. It is full of very old fashioned pictures and quotes and recipes... not the sort of thing I'd normally choose for a toddler, but both JJ and X absolutely love it! Strange.

I love the 2nd pic - X adores his daddy and I don't get nearly enough pics of them together so it was nice to get a happy one today :)

We went on the train this morning to Mitchelton and shared a couple of milkshakes and a bowl of chips - JJ was beside herself with excitement!
