kidding around

Yesterday we went to the library. I love the library…I mean, I just love it and get all “butterfly feeling” when I enter the doors and greet the security guard. To me the excitement is contagious and the kids get all crazy. Often we end up leaving with 50 or so books. Sometimes more…We read each book to the point that I know when it’s time to go back when the kids are begging for new books!

Anyway, here is a shot of our bookcase ready and waiting for lots of reading and browsing. I made sure to pick up some books for the summer months- I hope to have somewhat of a schedule and hope to share them with you all. I’m not sure how much crafting will be done, but you can be sure there will be a lot reading and kid crafting…

Here is a shot of Ellie reading her picks. I actually selected some chapter books for her since she still is in school, but she was pleased with the 5 “Little House on the Prairie” books (The Little House series for 7+ year olds). Anyway, she has already finished her first one…man, she is fast!

Simon is obsessed with the Ed Emberely DVD. He has been drawing non-stop. Fortunately we have some books of his as well, so Si has been able to bring his drawing with him! I love it when my kids get really interested in something very particular.

Thanks to our fantastic library we are all fed very well! So sorry crabby librarian who snarled at me and my 57 books, we are ready and hungry.
