{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

With three boys we are always looking for cool boy stuff to do. No pink here!
I found this awesome 65 favorite read aloud books for boys off of Pintrest. can I just point out REALLY quick... Little House series is the first one! I LOVE Laura Ingalls Wilder. Can't wait to start reading this to the boys.
IN FACT: I would like to make this my goal. To read to the boys EVERY night. Life gets away from me and I want this to be a habit that we get into. So PLEASE ask me how I am doing on this one. Keep me on my toes ;)

Book log
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
By: John Berendt
Mr. Berendt Introduced many characters through Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. All the characters living very "southern charmed" lives. What is a south in lifestyle? Not at all what I thought it was going to be. There was drama and jail and getting high. Yeah. Drugs in the good ol' South! Hellooooo... I thought they were too high and mighty for that. Apparently no.
The thing that surprised me the most about this book was all the stereotypes that I had given Georgia. It really got me thinking about all the stereotypes that I had given to so many places. My first year of college I can't tell you how many people had told me they thought that all Oregon people wore was flannel. What? They thought all Oregonians were lumberjacks????
That's okay. When I moved to Missouri. I thought all the folks out here were going to be farmers and country listening cousins. I don't know! It's just what I thought.
Wait we have totally gone off track here.
I wasn't all too crazy about the book at first. The thing that I really enjoyed about this book was the fact that it made me think after I had put the book down.
For that I give it THREE stars.
