Steve Jenkins.

Okay. So I went on a girls trip to Dallas this past weekend. It was a mothers day gift to us girls. And it was aweeeeeesome! We shopped. We ate. We watched a really bad movie. We were girls. Girls without any responsibility for like, 48 hours. It was great.

I came across this book in anthropologie in the mall. It was supposed to be 16.95. But it turned out to be 4.55. Idk. I brought it home for Pratt and well, he's in love.




The facts about beetles are unreal. The drawings are incredible. There is even a section in the back that gives the scientific name and where in the world you can find each beetle discussed.

I got on amazon to search the author and turns out, he's a Caldecott winner. And he has several incredible books. I just ordered this one for Pratt.





So. Long road to small house: if your kiddo likes insects, bugs, etc, this is the book/author for you. He's very scientific. My kinda man.

Check out www.readitagain.com/what-do-you-do-with-a-tail-like-that It has activities to do and they look cute, like making a chameleon out of pipe cleaners and other activities to re-tell the stories.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
