Timeless Wisdom from American Girl

This entry is from the book Changes for Josefina:

"If the do decide to marry, they shouldn't waste any more time about it," said Clara. "Neither one of them is getting any younger. Besides, it's always best to have a wedding in the winter so that it won't get in the way of planting or harvesting."

today's book finds

I had to go to Lincoln today to do some shopping. So you know I had to stop at a few thrift stores along the way. I found some cute level one and two reading books for Cutie Pie. She is going to be excited when she sees the  Australian Outback book. I also picked up a Treasure Island. I've never read Treasure Island. I suppose this is because I was too busy being cool when I was a kid:D hahaha

I also picked up a few of these American Girl books. They look entertaining and educational;)

Pollyanna

I've been reading the Classic Starts version of Pollyanna to Cutie Pie. I never had a chance to read this book as a child. Don't feel too bad for me. I probably wouldn't have liked it anyway. Which makes me surprised that Cutie Pie likes this book. It isn't nearly as exciting as her Magic Tree House Books. Maybe she is just making the best out of a bad situation just like Pollyanna would:)

A few days ago we were reading about how Pollyanna got her name. A combination of her mothers two sisters names. One sister was named Polly the other sister was named Anna. Cutie Pie thought that Pollyanna was a good name. And that we should get a baby from the hospital and name it Pollyanna. (Nice try Cutie Pie) But, I secretly agree with Aunt Polly that Pollyanna is a ridiculous name.

Books and a game

We went shopping for my birthday. And no shopping trip is complete without a few stops at thrift stores. I think I did rather well. I got a board game for the kiddos about the states. And a few books for them.

My favorite find was the Anne of Green Gables set for a dollar. I know these books must be awesome b/c I saw the movies on PBS when I was a child;D Of course Cutie Pie is a bit young for them. But, I'm sure she will love the Magic Tree House book I found. She is all about the Magic Tree House collection right now:)

chapter books

I purchased several chapter books at a local thrift store. At 59 cents each you can't really go wrong. I was excited about the ones in the front.

But, Cutie Pie insisted on starting the Scooby Doo chapter books tonight. AWESOME! I can't get enough Scooby Doo:D
