Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Book Haul #61


Hello bookworms!!!
Like always, it has been a crazy 2 weeks... 
I currently have an almost 5 month old baby on my lap who is trying to grab my fingers away from the keyboard so he can stick them in his slobbery mouth! Ew, I know! lol
Never a dull moment in a house full of boys! Especially when germs strike and they all get sick at the same time - to say I'm exhausted and sleep deprived is a total understatement! 

But, books keep me sane :)
