and now for something completely different...

eric and i were talking last night about his model un conference (long story short, i felt it's better described as a competition. i went so far to pull out my huge dictionary and read the definition of conference, but it supported his claim and i had to award him as the winner. ok, so now it's eric 1, jenn 342 - haha.)

anywho -- while i was at my book shelf, i came across the book alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. i brought it back into bed and asked started reading it to him (yes, i read the book and did the librarian pass so he can see the pictures.) this activity prompted us to talk about our favorite childhood books and he brought up books i never heard about and vice versa.

so... after checking at the library here at school they actually have a juvenile section, one that i'm visiting today to check out where the wild things are (my selection) and danny and the dinosaur (eric's selection). i know - we are nerdy. i think we will call it the 30 days of summer madness and read one book every night.

for the record: eric thinks this is nerdy, but i gave him "the look" and now he's on board. :)
