new old treasures

Best way to spend a rainy day? I think so.

My mom had stored a lot of our childhood books under the stairs, and today, she braved the cobwebs and overwhelming amount of Christmas boxes to bring them out. We found so many wonderful treasures for her to read when shes bigger, as well as some to read to her now.

We found the whole set of Beatrix Potter books, Dear Garbage Man (most pollitically incorrect book from the 50's about filling swamps with garbage) as well as my moms Dr Seuss books. The best thing that she found were my Little Suzy books that my grandparents gave me.They were based on a christian radio series in the 40's. I have read most of them, and they are super cool. I'll show pictures of them later when someone brings them up for me.

This last week has been good. Sadie has been having teeth issues,and the last 3 days was waking up multiple times per night much to Tony's dismay. He has still not gotten used to waking up at night and hes tired and grouchy. I've talked to him about letting her cry herself to sleep, but I want to wait to do that later on a bit, like when we arent sharing a bedroom with the little girl. I cant deal with screaming in my room. Last night though was so nice, she only woke up once, and slept from 9:00 to 7:45. Lets just say, everyone is much happier due to more consistant sleep.

We dont look forward to lack of sleep with baby boy, but thats just how its gonna be.

2011 Goal started

 One of my goals this year was to read a classic novel. Well, I've started one, finally! I was browsing the apps store and the ibook app caught my eye. I realized how handy it would be to read things on the iphone while on the bus or in bed instead of a book. Cant read in bed at night while baby sleeps without a lamp, but I do have the iphone.

Oh this makes reading books super easy at night. I love it. The book I picked was Jane Eyre. I saw a movie trailer for it just last week and all books are better than movies, so it had to be decent.

So far, its pretty good. I'm reading it every night while I go to bed, or while feeding the small girl who still wakes up at night. I will probably see the movie, cause Judi Dench is in it, and shes awesome.
