Good books

 #5 has two favorite books these days. This one he reads all.the.time.  I love it, even if I roll my eyes at the hundredth reading of the day. If he forgets a word(picture) he asks then says "oh, yeah that's right."  in that tone that makes you think he was just testing you to see if you knew what you were talking about.  

Just makes me smile!

 His second favorite is an I spy numbers board book.  He loves looking for all the hidden objects.  We have several of this type in the house, the younger two really like these.  #4 will generally pick this type of book over most choices(although airplane and firefighter books rank pretty high on his book wishlist too).

We are a houseful of book lovers here:)

Prayers and Books

First I have a couple prayer requests. My mom was in an accident today. I guess she got rear ended. Dad said it looks like the car will be written off as a loss and that mom is starting to feel sore from the accident.
#2's surgery is scheduled for 9am on Friday. This could be bumped back but is the plan for now. Please pray for #2 and all the surgical team.

Now onto the fun stuff: books! I have some books to share for adults and they aren't Usborne books*gasp* see I do have variety in my life;)

The first is what's the difference? - Christianbook.com Search
I'm reading this in a bible study I am in. It is very interesting, the point is to understand other religions so you can be a witness to them. I am learning more about other religions in this study then I did taking a comparative religion class in college. I find it interesting to see how some religions have twisted or taken the Bible out of context. I can see sometimes how it could be easy to do but then for them to get so many followers that are being lead astray...just breaks my heart really. This is a great book to read with other Christians so you get many points of views on everything that comes up.
The kids and I are reading The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis reading this book and reading what's the difference is very timely. The older kids and I have been enjoying this book-so look there I did recommend a kid book too.
The other book I'm reading is in Chronicles of the Kings Series by Lynn Austin. These are great books, I've read one and half so far! They are a very emotional read, I usually cry during the course of reading them. You can check out more reviews in the link.

It's been one of those strange weeks in which the kids are sick and yet not really sick. You know sick enough so that I don't want to expose them to others yet are perfectly normal in behavior except for the occasional 'sickness'.
They've had fun in science this week. We did experiments with fruit Tuesday, looking at the cells in fruit and seeing how much juice different fruits would give. I think everyone told me how fun it was and how much they liked it. Hmmm, could it be because they got to eat the experiments too?
I'm currently reading two books. One is about the mercury in vaccinations. It's very interesting, I've had it for a couple years but just now started diving into it. The other is a recommendation from a friend that I'm borrowing from the library. I was surprised to get it so soon because I was number 40 in line for it. It's called something like "The diet for the planet" about world hunger and why it exists. I'll have to post the actual names of the books and thoughts on them when I'm done.
