"Into the Castle"

Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday!

The kids are picking their own library books these days. (Which, in reality, involves them going to a shelf in the kids section and pulling books off at random.)

This past week, we've come across our first must-buy-this-book-because-there-will-be-mutiny-in-the-ranks-if-we-don't selection.

It's called Into the Castle, and it's about 3 kids, a dog and a horse going in search of a monster, which (spoiler alert) they find at the end. I swear we are reading this book 50 times a day right now. And the funny thing is, Sissy especially is scared by it...she won't read it unless she's snuggled up close so you can protect her from the monster. But every time when the story is over, she says, "Again!" Luke's the same way. I keep thinking, "Oh man, these kids are going to be scared to death someday of scary movies and roller coasters and the like, and they are going to go to/on them anyway."

Nothing like seeing little personalities shining through...love it.

XOXO
