Summer Reading - library round 2

The boys are very into dinosaurs at the moment so I made a point of finding dinosaur related books this trip.

Dinotopia (not really read aloud material but they like looking at the pictures)

Here Comes T Rex Cottontail

T. Rex Trick or Treats

Pterosaurs: Rulers of the Sky

Dinosaur Babies

Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs Before Dark (bookmooch)

plus some non dino books

Wind in the Willows (bookmooch)

We had a mouse problem recently. This meant putting sticky traps all over the cupboards & taking everything out of the cupboards, washing it or checking it for mouse contamination, washing the cupboards themselves & then putting everything back, but in better sealed containers.

Weekly Winners Sept 7-13

My weekly winners this week are all taken from my Project 365-Boys Play that I have been working on this year. We decided to paint the boys' room this week. Word must have gone out about it because while DH & I were moving the furniture around, these guys showed up: Contractorsaurs.  They had their own equipment so we hired them but soon there problems. They seemed to have issues with the spackle   I'm fairly certain some child labor laws were being broken   That doesn't look like painters' tape to me   Watching paint dry. We're not paying them by the hour are we? 5 days later (3 days longer than planned) the room was finished        For more Weekly Winners please visit Lotus at Sarcastic Mom
