Library Love

Seriously, what's not to love about a library?? 

Movies, Books, Games, story time, etc., etc.  all for free, you get to borrow them for a week or so then drop them right back off so they aren't cluttering up your house :) plus you aren't forced to watch the same Dora (for example) episodes over and over and over again, you return one one week and your kid gets to pick out a new one all.by. them. self. next week.  pure magic I tell you :) 

Going to the library has become a weekend ritual for us in the past couple of weeks, I print out a list of books to look for before we go (gotta have some that are Letter or Holiday of the Week related!) then when we get there we let C put the return books from the previous week in the slot (they even have a step stool specifically so littles can turn in their books) then she heads straight for the games and puzzles they have out to play with and I take A and go on a book hunt.  The thing about the children's section though is that all the books are at their level so I get to crawl around looking for the books :). Its a great sight I tell you the Librarians there must love watching all the moms pick out the books.  

After all that we head for the movies and pick out a couple for C to watch in the van for the week and maybe even one for Family Movie Night, then let C pick out a book if she wants and check out and head home with our treasures.

I truly truly hope that I can some how impart my love of reading on these two beautiful little girls of mine :) Its great to know that a world of opportunity sits right here at their fingertips only minutes away from our home.
