Im a woman thats why!

I can be in the middle of one book but want to start reading another.

Its my perogative ;)

At the momment i am in the middle of reading 'Mia Cupla' by Mia Freedman

It was one of my mothers day presents and i am LOVING it!

There is so much i can relate too, laugh at and even cringe at.

The Chapter im in the middle of right now Life with Children is my favourite so far.
The way Mia has written this chapter is with witt and serisouness
I've laughed and its even made me think.
I like a book that can put me on a gentle emotional rollercoaster.

I started reading Mia Culpa, just a few pages a day im in no rush

when i purchased another book.

The Complete Mary Poppins
by P.L. Travers

Its HUGE 762  pages huge to be precise 

Apparantly Mary Poppins was a series of books

who knew?It was there and i had just watched the movie so i thought why not grab it now.

I had forgotten how much i loved the movie

when it appeared on Foxtel the other week

needless to say i I'Qd it!

and watched it that night!

Its a beautfiful movie

I love the magic behind it and the imagination of the whole story.

I really am just a big kid!

Im hoping the book will be much the same if not better then the movie

I love to lose myself in books, use my imagination and mind to put myself right there next to the characters

Block out the rest fo the world just completley submerge myself amongst the words.

Well at least until one of the boys brings me back to reality ;)

As much as i want to hide amongst the pages of Mary Poppins

I will finish Mia Culpa, I have too.
It's too good a book not too really!

Its not that im not enjoying the reality of Mia Culpa
I think it's just the appeal of "fairy tale" that is drawing me to Mary Poppins

Perhaps the lesson to be learnt is don't buy a new book until you've finsished the current one?
or Maybe i should just read faster and more often ;)

Am i the only one that does this?

Library geek..

Today was a productive one.

I dropped Master J off at daycare and asked about changing his hours.

Went and purchased supplies for my creations over at TeeLee Blue

Purcahsed some more cooking utensils to help get more "fancy" in my kitchen & theraputic cooking adventures.

With Lil C in tow

i also headed off to the new Library the council have just opened up the road from us.

I had heard lots fo things about it especially for the kiddies

and they weren'r wrong.

There's beautiful kiddy books and even a toy library!

Its looking a little empty at the momment but they are waiting for the launch day on Friday to fill it full of gorgoeus books and toys.

the toy i borrowed for Master J

So i joined.

Yep i joined a Library.

To top it off i borrowed 3 books then and there for Master J.

ABC Animal Rhymes for you and me

By - Giles Anderson & David Wojtowycz

Dont Let the Aliens Get My Marvellous Mum!

By - Gillian Shields & Liz Pichon

I Love Birthdays

By - Anna Walker

Now i grabbed these books because they were bright and colourful

and fairly easy to read, not too many words.

Master J never sat still long enough to read the bookcase full of kids books he has

which saddens me as i am reader, we was when i was younger and before having 2 kiddies i would read all the time.

BUT this evening when he got home from daycare i showed him the books i had borrowed for him.

His face lit up with joy "stories"

My heart smiled, could it be he wanted to read these books?

We had dinner, bathed the boys and sat down on the couch waiting for bedtime.

I asked Master J shall we read a book.

Im delighted to say he said YES

and we read ...ALL 3!!

He loved it so did mummy :)

He helped turn the pages, said all the animals he knew in the ABC Animal Book,

and screamed "HAPPY HAPPY" when we read the I Love Birthdays book.

I couldnt beleive my little Master J sat through 3 whole books.

I hope this is the start of something beautiful.

Bed time stories and lots of imagination play.

I couldn't be happier or prouder.

Do your kiddies love books? Whats their favourite book?
