what our kids are reading now


  • The adventures of Samuarai Jack has been great fun to read. The series is about, an evil shape-shifter named Aku from the distant past that has brought destruction upon the land. Jack is a heroic warrior in a quest to return to the past and undo the evil wrought by Aku. ~ d

  • Dillon has been loving “The Monster Show” for weeks. It is a cute “tell all” about monsters... did you know that monsters feel silly only wearing underpants? Little D (3) now reads it back to me and it is the cutest thing ever. ~d

  • This is a great little series of books about trucks, fire engines, digger and other machines. Dillon reads these over and over again. The have cute illustrations, bright colors and they are about machines — what little boy wouldn't like! ~d

A Gingerbread House for Every Season

In our house, we love gingerbread houses in any form. So when we found a kit for a haunted mansion gingerbread house at Cost Plus, Cash and I were ecstatic.

Gingerbread-1

It comes complete with the pre-cut gingerbread pieces, frosting mix, and candy decorations. Cash drew a cool spider and web on the roof and made adorable skeletons with the candies.

With a little research, you can find a gingerbread house idea for any holiday, including Easter, Valentine's Day and even St. Patrick's Day. The I found a great selection of inspiration on about.com

Gingerbread-3

Gingerbread-2

For the Christmas season, check out the Wonka Gingerbread Kit, or if you are a real do-it-yourself-er, check out The Gingerbread Architect.

And the best thing about gingerbread houses, of course, is that you eat them at the end!

Sara and I started doing gingerbread houses a couple years ago - she did the eating while I did the decorating :) Trader Joe's actually has an awesome kit (and it tastes good, too!!) for under $10...
