Book Club

The ladies in our neighborhood started a book club. It's a fun night...talking, laughing, discussing the book, and eating. We take turns hosting and picking the book. For my pick, I chose a book we read at school with the sixth graders, A Long Walk to Water. 

 Love this little metal "neighborhood" from Target

 Before the rest of the goodies arrive....

 The book cover never looked so fancy!

 The good old book club wreath and banner made a reappearance!

They got dusted off, hung up and dressed up the mantle for another 

book club night.

Now why didn't I take a picture of the girls? 

Probably because we were too busy laughing, talking and eating!

'Twas the Night Before School

We started a new tradition, a Back to School Breakfast, but at dinner! 

I leave for school before Kiera is awake, so we came up with a fun 

way to have breakfast together. 

We continued our tradition of giving Kiera a grade level book to read

on the night before back to school (I'm hopeful that there's a book out

there with eighth grade or 11th grade in the title!). 

She wanted curly hair for her first day of third grade, so in 

went the pink sponge rollers!

An easy (and sugary!) breakfast for the first day
