A bit of background is needed. I am in the process of getting about 500 auctions ready to start on ebay in a few weeks(like I don't have anything else to do) I have seriously been going through our shelves for months pulling out anything I don't think we will need as ds will be in 9th grade next year. Ds will still be homeschooled it is just time to find new homes for many of our materials. Our home office looks like an explosion of books. Now dh says he was looking around the house last night, since in the evening he is usually only looking at the inside of his eyelids I was immediately intrigued. Then he said that none of the bookcases look any less full so.....the house must be growing books. :confused: Nothing like having your hard work appreciated. In reality, the cases are just not double packed now, and I can see the difference, but I understand why he can't. Plesae do not take a red pencil to that last sentence, and we thought only kds say funny things. Of course he is the biggest kid in the house.

When you said "growing books" I envisioned your house with a bra. LOL

That sounds like something my dh would say. He just does not have an appreciation for lots of books! When we moved, I wanted/needed to buy two additional bookshelves. He wanted me to get rid of enough books to just have two bookshelves total! :eek:
