Five Monkeys and a Princess

if you click on my thumbnail pictures they show up GINORMOUS!!! or is it “JINORMOUS!!”–nah, it’s gotta be the former, ‘ginorumous’, or ’gianormous’, which by the way if you haven’t heard has been officially added to the dictionary.  weird...  Not sure whether to chuckle or cringe about that. 

 Where was I?? Oh yeah, the GARGANTUAN (okay, I know I’m spelling this one wrong, but my  spellchecker friend is failing me now….  eeek!) pictures… I’m only savvy enough at this point to get them uploaded, not sized correctly.  So please bear with me.   Oh, yeah, and with my very poor spelling…. It’s an affliction I musta inherited from my father.  (even though I was adopted… whatever…)

Today we enjoyed a relaxed day and we just read, read, and read some more!  It was cold and rainy outside, but the fire inside was nice and warm.   I went to the first Friday Library Book Sale at the local library and came home with some wonderful treasures.   The kids love it when I go… it’s like Christmas to them.  Books get quickly unpacked, thumbed through and scattered about the floor.  Lots of “oooh, look at this one” and “cool, I looove this one..”   Now if I could just get that reaction from my husband…

We’re off to try and make St. Brigid crosses (like the green one she’s holding in the picture above).  Wish me luck!
