It wasn't the warmest weekend, but it was sunny. And I think we are all determined to pretend its Spring, even if it doesn't quite feel that way yet. So Saturday, Magoo went out and made some bubbles.
A few years ago we got this thing called a bubble wand. You can see it in the pic. It starts out like a sword, then you dip it in the bubble solution, then you press a button and it opens up and makes nice big bubbles. Who doesn't love nice, bug bubbles, right?! Ours broke after years of use - so this is Magoo breakin' in the new one.
No batteries and 30-60 minutes of fun.Can't beat it. EXCEPT - maybe with a kite!
Magoo's Aunt Pat got him a sweet little kite for Xmas. Since it was a nice breezy Sunday, we decided to take it out to the school. After a couple lessons from Dad on how to work with the wind, Magoo got the hang of it.
He had a ton of fun and I think felt quite proud of himself.Great gift, thanks Pat.
Now onto the book part:
Planet Esme just did a lovely review of Wink. Thanks, Esme.
And Cynthea Liu, who runs the Authors Now page, said she saw Wink on the wall of her Barnes & Noble and sent me a pic.
There he is all happy and stuff. Thanks Cynthea!I have yet to make it back to my B&N to see if Wink is on the wall, but the signing is Saturday so I might just wait until then.

How cool to see Wink on the shelves. Must be so exciting to see it actually out there! We will look for it this week. I love the new banner. Enjoy your spring!
Thanks Shelley.
I haven't seen it on the shelves yet - with my own eyes. I'm not sure if I will until the Saturday book event. I hate leaving my little cave if I don't have to.
I don't know whether to feel warm or cold seeing Magoo in shorts. We just had snow yesterday and today the windchill is -11 (that's chilly!!)
So I'm a tad bit jealous!!
The bubbles look like so much fun. I am always amazed by the toys they make for kids now a days. Something to look forward to with Frances!
Don't let Sara get near your kite, she could throw a temper tantrum.
How exciting to see your beautiful book on the shelf at the big bookstore!!
Sara might not fear this kite - there are no wooden dowels. It's just fabric.
But maybe the hard pieces isn't what she's afraid of.
I'm so glad he enjoyed the kite! I hope he's able to take it out on many more fun outings!
