WE LOVE BOOKS!

It must be said. Our family loves books. Fiction, non-fiction, classics, history, science, mystery, thrillers, biographies,just to name a few. The library has always been one of our favorite destinations. 

Elvis devouring a science book after a trip to the library.

And no, he wasn't made to read.  

He simply loves soaking in information.

Princess has started to enjoy looking at books on her own this year.

Elvis filled up his reading list for the library prize in only 2 days.

Already looking for another book to read.

More science!

Sweet Pea takes a trip to Ancient Greece.

Bugsy was really into this book.  He kept stopping & sharing what he was reading about.  Love that enthusiasm!

All snuggled up and ready for a good book.

Boo couldn't put her book down!

Nice & cozy.

Daddy & Princess

Writing another book on his library book club list.

Yep, she is in another world.

Caps for sale!

Even Josie & Sky(walker) were enjoying the books.  Lol.

I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than all cozy with your family & a stack of good books. 

Our Bedroom Makeover

We continued on to our bedroom. It really needed to be arranged better. Our budget is always tight but it is barely squeaking by lately. I am trying hard to use what we already have to make things look nicer & new. One thing we needed in our room was more drawer space. Dave & Sweet Pea brought the dresser from Boo Bear's room to our room. Then the re-arranging began! There wasn't much purging to do as I keep on top of it. But things did need to be organized a bit again as our room is my office, bedroom, planning room & sometimes even a schoolroom.

We started moving the furniture, wiping down baseboards & vacuuming. That chest of drawers, (Dave's), used to be over where the vacuum is. And it was piled high with stuff.

The other side of the room.

We swapped out the small nightstand & put the long set of drawers by the window instead. The bookshelf was moved to where Dave's chest of drawers used to be.


Now Dave's chest of drawers & my dresser, (recovered from Boo's room) stand side-by-side.

I made a cozy reading corner. Dave brought the small recliner in from Princess' bedroom & the bookshelves were moved. The basket & box hold my school planning books & papers.

Our cozy bed. I love being able to have my hope chest out again. This was given to me as a high school graduation gift from my dear Nana.

I'm hoping to dig through my old curtains & valances to see if I have something that will work in our bedroom. If not it will wait for now. The blinds are the most important & we have those. Yay! =0)

I am really pleased with the outcome of our room & feel much more relaxed in it. Sweet Pea said it looks like "a nice hotel room". Lol! The best part is it didn't cost us a dime. =0)
