Lord, it is hot here and that lemonade looks great.
I think this is supposed to be a Spell-it-Out, Dhes. Otherwise you have two "Build Your Own" challenges.

My little boy is starting school this month so I'm gonna try and hopefully finish the word KINDERGARDEN!!!
Oh, how sweet!!!!
He's so excited and can't wait to go!! He comments everyone we drive by his school, "Mommy, thats my school. When can I go?" I'm happy and excited for him too but he's my baby and I'm still trying to figure out where the time went?!?! He was just in diapers!!!

Congrats to you too! My daughter, I think, is more upset than me only because she saw the playground and now wants to go too!! She actually cried.. I had to reassure her she gets to go next year..
My grandson is starting Kindergarten, too!
I'm in! Maybe THIS month, I'll have more success! At the end of this month, Eric and I are going on vacation - and it's Labor Day, too, so I'm choosing the word, HOLIDAY. Wish me luck!!!! LOL!WLLK August Spell It Out Challenge

FINALLY! I've read all of the Fifty Shades series. The beginning of the series wasn't what I expected, but when I realized that the trilogy was a love story with erotic sex scenes, instead of an erotic book with a marginal plotline, I really enjoyed it all. Not real sure about all this "mommy porn" stuff, 'cuz I don't know about y'all, but some of the stuff I've read in the romance novels we read is a lot more blatant than this was...Anyhow - - it's a good series...but I'm glad it's over. Don't think I could have handled any more.

It really is a good plot and it takes all 3 books to really see that.

WOW - - FEVER world, come to life in a graphic novel. Just. O M G. It uses some of the backstory to give context to this story, yet tells a tale of the Fear Dorcha...and I have to wonder - - is the FD going to play a role in the Dani novels??? Hmmmm... Anyhow, the illustrations are freaking BEAUTIFUL, haunting, erotic, everything that you'd expect of KMM and the FEVER world. Just. Amazing. Phew.
