Happy Easter and Happy Sunday! I hope you guys have had a lovely weekend so far. This past week was a little crazy and a bit fun as it's been my first time co-hosting a Scholastic Book Fair. Wow, it's a lot of work, but so much fun. I seriously admire those who have to do it on their own, because it is seriously time consuming, but so worth it. I'm already looking forward to doing this again after the fair ends on Wednesday. Luckily this was a slow book week for me, well not counting the books I bought for my kiddos. Here's some of the goodies that arrived in my mailbox this week:
