And as an added benefit, it taught my kids about the solar system and leap year. ;)<br /><br />Yes, Switchfoot are our all-time-favorites too. My hubby has seen them (now) eight times. I don't know why but every time I've seen them myself, I cry. It's rare these days to find musicians who mean what they sing much less live it. And listening to them play songs that matter, songs that MEAN something makes me weep like a kid cutting onions. We've joked that we'd sell just about anything (including our own kidneys) to be able to have the money to go see them whenever they come within 600 miles of us. And while we both still have our kidneys, my hubby did donate a whole bunch of plasma to be able to go this time ;) Good man. Good man.Krista Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352928130757919226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-33421771435000576712014-11-10T13:20:29.104-08:002014-11-10T13:20:29.104-08:00Switchfoot is one of my husband's all-time-fav...Switchfoot is one of my husband's all-time-favortites. He got to see them in concert at a beach in Florida when we were in college. <br /><br />Yes, the snow is fun for a few days. By Christmas, I'm usually over it and in need of a healthy dose of attitude adjustment because I tend to become a wee-bit grouchy until spring. <br /><br />I've not heard of Plenty of Pelly and Peak!

I think they are really fun books (though I do to pre-read them for content that might not line up with our worldview or be scary, etc etc.) But both books she's read so far have brought up a ton of conversations and digging about things in the book. Lots of time on youtube looking up Amazon related topics this past few weeks ;) <br /><br />Good luck in the cold, mama. We just got back from the Switchfoot show in Minneapolis and narrowly missed the big snow that socked them in right as we were leaving for our own cold and desolate land. We got our first two inches here and though I am always excited for the first snow, I know, all too soon, the shine will wear off and I'll be wishing for above zero weather with every fiber of my being. Here's to warm soup and hot cocoa anyhow, eh?<br /><br />Ohhh, I thought of another couple for beginning readers that we've busted out again! The "Little Bear" books by Else Homelund Minarik are favorites as are the "Plenty of Pelly and Peak" books by Sally Wittman. They are both oldies (and probably out of print), but GOODIES!Krista Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352928130757919226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-55922653362325616382014-11-10T09:00:48.097-08:002014-11-10T09:00:48.097-08:00I'm am trying to make my way through Buddhism ...I'm am trying to make my way through Buddhism for Mothers as I am really struggling at being a first year homeschooler.
