Sun kissed cheeks and a good book!

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

We went to the beach while we were down in Florida visiting my parents a couple weeks ago.  I was a good momma and made sure my kids were lathered up with sun screen...not once mind you...but after being in the water for  quite a long while I made them get a new layer on.  Yes...I deserve an award for remembering to get the first layer on.  Even with two layers of protection the kids all came home with sun kissed cheeks!

I thought the kids would want to play in the amazing sand lot next to my parents house the next day.  I even purchased a nice size pool that they could fill up and keep cool in while playing in the sand.  It was not to be though.  The kids had enough sun at the beach to last them a few days.  So instead the little guys played with their army men while Morgan and Becca curled up with books they found on my moms book shelves. 

Today I swung by the library to pick up more books for the kids to read.  Johnston started a new series, while Davidson grabbed some Dinosaur books, I didn't have much time so I grabbed about 30 books I thought would interest the masses.  It was fun seeing Jameson and Holland SO excited about the picks.  I find such joy in watching them enjoy a good book!
