Books: Colors

I sometimes have unusual ways to select children's books. I often just sit in front of an alphabetical section at the library and pick books until our bag is full. Recently we had books by Stuart J. Murphy, Linda Newbery, Jean Marzollo, Nicholas Oldland, Dean Morrissey and Patrick McDonnell.

Today at the library I wandered around a bit more chasing my 17 month so my selection was a bit more varied. But Spring must have been filling my mind because when I got home I realized I picked books with bindings in the same color family. Isn't that fresh and pretty:

How do you choose books?

What are some of your recent favorites?

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking.

I am an inexperienced blogger. I write sporadically. I use a free blogging web-site.  I have not done a tutorial. I have not attended a blogger conference.  And I have had at least three reader's comments "lost" recently.  I am so sorry about that!! I do not know why this is happening.  I have double checked all my setting to allow comments. Even anonymous comments but the problem seems to persist.   Today I have made a small change so that the comments section will pop-up in a new window instead of at the bottom of my site.  Maybe this will help.   If you make a comment and it doesn't appear, please let me know.   Or just forgo all the blog-related-comment-mumbo-jumbo and email me directly!   I like hearing from you.
