seriously. How I do that I don't know. Okay, I do know. I have been busy reading. For the last couple of years the pile of books on the bedside table has grown to ridiculous proportions. It does not help that I have a list on Amazon and family members, especially my Dad, buy them for me for Christmas. Since this past summer I have made a concerted effort to move through nearly a dozen or so books, only to be thwarted again this holiday with more gifts of reading. Don't get me wrong I love books and love to read, I just don't always make the time. Well, I had finally read through all the Jane Austen and some similar lit. When I started upon a new series for some simple light reading. Oh my me, the books are like crack...not that I have ever done drugs, but seriously addicting. I must confess they are the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Such a fun read. Now, they are vampire books, but nothing of the dark stories that Anne Rice used to tell. Just fun light a little more romance, think Romeo and Juliet if you will. SO anyway, if you are looking for some fun reading I highly recommend them. Needless to say though, I finished those and am on to a mystery...the last one in my pile. There is no more pile which means that next week I will actually have to go to the library to check something out when I pick up books with Ainsley. Ah well.
I have some pictures that I need to download that I have been lazy about getting to but I will try to get to them later today when my kids have their afterschool gang over. Ainsley went to the art museum for a field trip and I got a cute shot of her making her creation. Also, I have Aidan with his 2nd place winning car and trophy from the Pinewood Derby for scouts. Tomorrow will also be an exciting day in our house in that we finally got Ainsley a big girl bed. No more little toddler bed. It is about time being that she will be 4 here in a few short weeks, but I have hesitated because she is so small. She is barely over 30 pounds. I am just praying that she doesn't roll out of it as she has at my in-laws house. We have learned our lesson there and the first thing we do after arriving is push the guest bed up against the wall so that she doesn't fall out. Well, kind of a silly post today, but these are the things on my mind. This and that I am tired of the cold. At least today is sunny once again though, as it seems to make a huge difference in my frame of mind these days. Later taters!

Glad you got some good reads in. I need to work on my "pile" too. I'd been wondering about the Twilight series. Vampires are not usually my cup of tea. I'll be patiently waiting for the new Grisham from my MIL. If you want a "rail" for Ainsley's bed, I can loan you the one we have from Ian. I don't see Kyra going to a big girl bed for at least another year.
