Toby:
The Kid's Guide to Digital Photography
Bakugan series books
Beast Quest series books (note to self - buy next two books)

Anything Star Wars he can get his hands on

Me:
The Unschooling Handbook
Blink
Quivering Daughters
A Thomas Jefferson Education (3 books that I'm still studying)

I'm also listening to lots of podcasts and a new CD (do you still call it that when it's downloaded?).  Mumford & Sons  I LOVE it!  Casey HATES it!  Andrea and Angela you'll love it too (all but maybe two songs) - go NOW to Itunes and listen.

And if you already knew about Mumford and Sons - why didn't you tell ME???  I'm completely clueless when it comes to any music written in the past 20 or so years (yes ok I'm square - this I know).

I'll keep you posted!

Oh! I do like! I'm the same way about music. Thank goodness for Pandora or I'd never hear anything new. Good books, too!
