• That’s Not The Monster We Ordered!!

    And I’m not talking about your kids! Or your grandkids. See how your mind works???  That’s Not The Monster We Ordered is a book written by Richard Fairgray, Terry Jones and Tara Black. Now you’ll remember Alice and I reviewed Gorillas In Our Midst and My Grandpa Is A Dinosaur a while back and they are both still top favorites for five-year-old Alice. I’ve told you before, the kid has a library that rivals any adult’s!! Alice loves to read! Okay, Alice loves to be READ TO. (However, the Kindergarten kid is picking up this reading thing pretty darn quickly!) Every single night Alice gets a bedtime story or 4. This kid would rather hear a story than watch TV.

The monster, named Slinky does…

    Here it is October already!! GESH!! We will be celebrating 2017 pretty soon! AMAZING how fast time is going. Kinergarten for five-year-old Alice is going great. A couple of days were rocky but all in all it’s been awesome!My big MYSTERY (I know it’s YOU Daniel!!) is getting mysterious postcards in the mail with one or two lines written out for a song that I hate!
