Books and Bananas: Snowstorm

Last week brought a news-worthy level snowstorm to our part of the country.  That meant snowman making weather!  And with every good snowman (or snowlady!) comes the curiosity around  what they do when we're not watching...enter Snowmen at Night.

My mom gifted this book to my older boys years ago, and it's now a standing winter favorite for my toddler.  After building a snowman, he repeatdly runs to the window and reports back "snowman not moving yet".

I love it!

Oh, and what's that other book in the pic?  Check back another week and I'll fill you in!

Books and Bananas Thanksgiving weekend: The Day The Crayons Quit

We are big users of our local library, easily hauling out a dozen picture books per trip.  I love discovering authors, watching my toddler pick out his selections (he totally judges a book by its cover), and finding new favorites along the way.

We (ok, maybe just me) have been waiting FOREVER for our turn to check out The Day The Crayons Quit.  I'm not sure why I didn't just buy it, knowing it would be a favorite.  

This past week our library adventure finally scored us a turn at this fantastic story.

Haven't read it? It's a must. I am raising a boy, so obviously PEACH is his favorite in the story.  You'll have to read it yourself to find out why!
