I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted by the wonderful Kim of Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where participants recap our week, talk about what we are reading, share any new books that have come our way, and whatever else we want to talk about. I am also linking to Stacking the Shelves hosted by the great Team Tynga's Reviews and Marlene of Reading Reality a meme in which participants share what new books came their way recently.
The Nutcracker rehearsals are in full swing. My husband and I have been putting together and restoring props while Mouse takes to the dance floor in rehearsals. Nerves are setting in the closer we get, with only four weeks left before showtime. Only two of her costumes have come in, and we are waiting for three more.

What Mouse is Reading: In going through her bookshelf the other night, Mouse pulled a book off her shelf and asked her dad to read it to her. I flipped out. Well, more inwardly than outwardly. I was quick though to say that wouldn't happen. I told them both that I wanted to read the book to her. I had never read it before, and had been looking forward to reading it with Mouse. I just had expected it to be in another year or two. That book? Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. We have been reading a chapter a night just about, sometimes two. Mouse and I are both loving it. And yes, I am kicking myself for not reading it sooner. We have just reached the chapter in which Anne goes to Sunday School.
What Mouse is Watching: Mouse has discovered the Netflix show Brainchild, which even her dad and I have gotten into. It's a show about fun scientific facts.

It looks like Mouse is busy with dance. You're so lucky to have a daughter to experience Anne of Green Gables with all over again.
ReplyDeleteKathy - Yes, we've all been quite busy with it as of late! She enjoys it though and so that makes it worth it. This is my first time reading Anne of Green Gables. It's such a delightful book!
DeleteOooh! Good luck with the Nutcracker play!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!

Ronyell - Thank you!
DeleteSo excited for Mouse! I'm sure the performance will be fantastic given all the rehearsals and preparations. All the best! :)
ReplyDeleteMelody - Thank you! She's worked so hard. I hope it is a big success!
DeleteSounds like you guys are having some great times and we enjoy hearing about them. Can't wait to see how the Nutcracker goes. Enjoy the reading and anticipating!
ReplyDeleteKay - Thank you!
DeleteOooh fun and exciting. I was on the board for a ballet company once. I love the arts. Happy reading and Thanksgiving. Anne - Books of My Heart
ReplyDeleteAnne - We love the arts too, and I am glad my daughter seems to enjoy them as well. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!
DeleteWhen did your Mouse get so big? She looks a lot older, peeking over that book, than I recall in earlier photos.
ReplyDeleteJeane - I keep asking that very same question. She's growing way too fast.
DeleteThings do get busy the closer it gets to the show. My daughter is just beginning the practices for the school musical. She is playing in the pit. I am kind of glad that I can just sit back and watch the show. I loved Scholastic book orders! I love that you are reading with your daughter. So many great memories!
ReplyDeleteCarole - Hopefully I will be able to watch at least one of the shows. We're required to volunteer for one, but I've noticed some parents end up having to work all of them. We'll see . . . At least they record it so I can watch it that way if need be.
DeleteI love The Nutcracker costumes! She's going to look beyond adorable! Hopefully the nerves don't stress her out too much. I'm so excited for you that she wanted to read Anne of Green Gables! If she likes that I highly recommend Story Girl and Magic for Marigold. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteKatherine - Aren't they cute? I can't wait to see her on stage. I have to remember to keep my own nerves to myself so as not to stress her out more. Thank you for the recommendation of Story girl and the Magic for Marigold! We will have to give that one a try. It sounds like we will love it.
Deleteoh my gosh too cute, good luck with The Nutcracker play and happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE the Bad Guys books. I have very fun voices for each of them, even if I confuse them when reading :)
