Aaarrggghh!

Dylan celebrated his FIFTH birthday with his 12 favorite Buccaneers!

I am so lucky my husband goes along with my crazy plans, like building a 48 foot pirate ship around the play area.

Walk the Plank!!! (By far everyone's favorite game.)

I CANNOT believe he is FIVE!!!!

(Lack of) Cozy Reading Corner

Teaching My Little Bookworm has started a new blog link up. Check it out!

I have been tyring to find some special "reading nook" in our house since my kids were born. You know, a secret little cozy corner with cute kid-sized chairs and a bakset of books. Somehow, it just never works out and my kids always end up here in this oversized chair that gets moved all over the house because it doesn't really fit anywhere. It is pretty cozy!

My favorite part of reading in our house is our "nonfiction" section. All (okay, almost all) of the books are labeled and the kids are always taking (and putting back) books off of these shelves. This system has saved so much of the "Well, I know we have a book about that somewhere.....", proceeded by tearing apart all the bookshelves to find that one book!
