Team Up Thursday ~Books~

Summer is such a busy time if you have kids home from school, isn't it?  The school year is busy too, but summer is just a different kind of busy that revolves around keeping the kids entertained and wearing them out.  I struggle with trying to balance fun, activity, rest time while still trying to get them to do a few academic things at home...well, only one month of summer left and we have done 'school work' exactly one time!  Sigh.

Since Amy and I (and many of you out there) spend so much time at the library and book stores during summer, we decided 'books' might be a great theme:

Amy:

I chose "books" because our life seems to revolve a bit around books lately.  We spend lots of time at the library and Barns & Noble.  My 7 year old is obsessed with books...reading them, collecting them, starting them all and taking forever to finish them!  And my 4 year old loves books too, but in different ways.  He loves Star Wars and Batman books, books about animals, and anything funny!  He more likes to look at the books and talk about them!  Either way, I'm so happy my kids have a love for books.  I didn't enjoy reading until I was an adult.  So to have them enjoy it now makes my mommy heart swell. :)

Me:

My kids love to load up our 'book bag' at the library and then come home and spread out on the floor with blankets, pillows, and all of their books.  I love their expressions when they open up their treasures

I love the perspective of both of your shots. Both of your boys' expressions are too cute.
