I had a lovely little weekend. I got to spend some time with the main squeeze, David. We read What If You Met a Pirate? and Pirate Diary: The Journal of Jake Carpenter. David, a pirate enthusiast, throughly enjoyed both books. We took turns reading aloud to one another. David’s authentic “pirate accent” was quite amusing. I thought the books were great, as well. I was blown away by how many straight up facts are packed between the covers of those books. I liked the how one book had the story grammar elements going on, while the other was strictly informational. The illustrations in both books were amazing. Long story, short version: fantastic books, totally want to use them in my own classroom, etc, etc.
This weekend I also purchased a wee little pumpkin that’s happily sitting on my desk. Nothing says “October” like miniature gourds!
Now it’s off to work on my Double Entry Diaries.

Speaking of pumpkins…go by Stick Boy Bread Company and purchase a loaf of pumpkin rosemary bread to go with that Stokes Sweet Potato Butter=delicious!!! That was my dessert!
Thank you Maggie!
Wow. That sounds amazing. I’ll most definitely be stopping by there ASAP!
