Library Day!!!

Friday is our library and grocery shopping day! We went early today in hopes of missing the rain which we did. Every week we come home with a good stash of books that the kiddos pick and some that I pick to add in to school for the week. It never fails that before S falls asleep that very night she finishes all her books!! I usually say their limit is 5 books just because we could stay in the library all day and look. Normally we spend a couple hours there anyways and leave with more than five each. Now that H is enjoying reading more I took two bags today and it was a good thing! Here is what we came home with...

About thirty books or so this trip. That does not include a few we didn't return that I have on the shelf to go along with S's storytime in Beyond. We do one book per week instead of one per genre, which biography was four weeks. I also picked up five of the American Girl Kaya books for her to read since they are fairly close to the time period we are studying for history, by a hundred years. : ) She also got some Boxcar Children and other books. This girl just devours books! And I think H is soon to be that way too! We visited a very large church in our community on Tuesday to check out their children's library which I had been told was wonderful and it was. We still have those books around here too not in the picture. H finally wanted a Hardy Boys book which we had suggested before and as I sit here typing this he just came in very excited to tell us he had just finished it while reading in bed! Yay for him, 178 page book since Tuesday! He picked up 3 more today. He got Secret Agent Dingledorf too which are pretty light books but now that he has a mixture I am thrilled. I am so thankful he is starting to enjoy reading. K loves books as well even though he's not reading on his own. There's always someone around who will read the books he picks out to him. I am trying to train/encourage the twaddle-free books and the kids are coming along nicely.
