Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Book Haul #58


Hello my favorite booknerd friends :) 

I feel like I'm always whining during my updates, lol! So sorry!
Not going to anymore... or at least, try not to all the time ;) 
It's getting busier around here! Baby boy is on the move - rolling over and trying to crawl already, he'll be 4 months old on the 7th - it's all going by way too fast! I want to cherish every moment with my boys, especially our baby since he is and will be our last baby :( 

Hope you all had a wonderful week with family, friends and books too!!!
