The Giver



Best book I have read in a while now. I never had to read it in High School and I'm kind of glad. I don't think I would've appreciated it then. 
You should read it if you haven't. 
I think my next book should be The Hunger Games. Trevor read it and loved it and so has every other person in the world! Or should I say Ward??? :)

Everyone that I have recommended The Hunger Games series to has yet to tell me they didn't like it. SO... I agree, this should be your next selection for reading material. :o)

GO READ IT! It's the best book I've read in a really long time. Even Chris liked it & he doesn't like to read much.

Funny-I JUST finished reading The Giver, last week. Jaden (my 5th grader) picked it out. His class had to pick a Newbery Award book to read for a class assignment, and he chose The Giver. I decided to read it as well.
He hated the ending! He wanted Jonas to take the Giver, Fiona, and Asher with him as well.
I asked him why and he said The Giver, to have an adult with knowledge with him, Fiona for his wife, and Asher for a friend. He said they could all raise baby Gabe together, and start a new life.
Very insightful for a ten year old! I am getting the new Kindle today and have already downloaded the Hunger Games onto it for when it arrives~I can't wait!
Good luck on the first day of school! As far as the clean house, warm folded laundry, and dinner on the table~I thought that's how it would be here-but I still have SO many things going on that life is still as chaotic as ever!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
