Winter Reading

Winter is here.  Which brings a lot of not so fun stuff.  But it does make it that much more enjoyable to curl up on the couch with a good book while the kids are asleep and the snow is falling aside.  I'm into the second Hunger Games book now and thoroughly enjoying it.  Before that I read the Help, and loved that too.  Next up on the docket is the third book and then I think I'll try one of Nicholas Sparks' new ones.    

Meanwhile, Josh has been curling up with this bad boy.  Ha ha don't worry, he's not planning on reading the whole thing or anything, it's more of a reference book, and we have already gotten some good use out of it looking up things for our own kids.  Josh is halfway through his pediatrics rotation and really enjoying it. 

Shane still loves any and all books but is especially into this one right now: Meet the Cars.  It's got a picture and profile for pretty much every car that has ever appeared in either of the Cars movies and he studies this thing religiously.  He can tell you pretty much all of their names and what country they are from.

He can even spell most of their names, because his favorite thing is to "say their names" to the tune of B-I-N-G-O.  Actually, let me rephrase that- his favorite thing is for his to mom to say their name to the tune of B-I-N-G-O all.day.long.  And because he's cute and there are worse ways we could spend our time, I usually oblige him (and only sometimes with my fingers in my eyeballs). 

Marissa is actually starting to enjoy the use of books aside from eating them (though they are still a favorite snack of hers too).  But she spends most of her time studying the floor (and her chair) for treasures. 

Got any good book recommendations for us?
