I could probably count on my fingers the number of times the boys have used their shower/bath since we have lived in this house and we have lived here for a year and a half. So, I have decided to reclaim our bathroom; I am tired of sharing our bathroom with the boys. I don’t mind sharing, but I am tired of stepping over all of their stinkin’ toys every morning. We have a fairly complete set of Star Wars toys in our shower complete with one of more spaceships on any given day. Not to mention the action figures. So, today Liam and I went to Target and I let him pick out a shower curtain. I had him clean out all the “baby toys” out of their tub and I hung up the shower curtain (after having to make a second trip to Target to get a shower curtain holder that actually worked). Then, to make the transition complete, I hung up two towel holder ring things in each of their bathrooms. We still have one more thing to do though…we still have toys in our shower. Tomorrow the boys are going to get all of their junk out of our bathroom and transfer it into theirs and then they can have their inaugural showers. It’s silly how much I am looking forward to it.

This is the book that was chosen for the intermediate level kids in our neighborhood book club. It is really a very good story. Two brothers go white water rafting with their dad for the first time and their dad ends up getting bitten by a rattlesnake. It is quite an adventure since the boys have never been rafting before and their dad is drifting in and out of consciousness. Book club is this weekend and we are going to discuss the books, do an activity related to each of the books and then have some yummy popsicles.
How Pizza Came to Queens is a very cute story about four little girls and a summer visitor from Italy. It turns out these girls have never heard of pizza and their Italian-speaking guest wants nothing more than to make pizza. The girls try everything to make their guest happy, but soon realize that they have to figure out what pizza is if they are going to put a smile on their guest’s face.
