Library Love

I love the Library!!!!  I am like a kid in a candy shop there.  So many books.  We went from carrying them to putting them in grocery bags and graduated to a  luggage like backpack on wheels that opens up on top, perfect for carting all our books home.  When I saw the bag at Ross' I knew it would make the perfect library bag, except it is neon green with polka dots, but it works so well I just love it.

Right now Ethan's favorites are the Berenstein Bears, Arthur, Franklin, Clifford and Little Critter books.  Lila loves Nancy Drew, Cam Jansen and anything with cute girly drawings.  Emry loves the always fascinating Harry Potter, Lightening Thief series and basically any good mystery she can sink her teeth into.  I am reading a few food related books and just completed  2 books from an author I just discovered, Anna Quindlen.  Her subject matter is a little deep and dark (death, abuse) but her writing is extraordinary.  There are about 8 of her books on the library shelf right now and I can't wait to carve out some time to to start in on another one.

Every trip Ethan says he wants to check out 5 movies because he's 5.  He always goes for Arthur and some sort of superman/spiderman show.  It was quite funny a few months ago he was watching a superman cartoon from the library circa 1960 and many of the characters were smoking and they made reference to a Jap.  I had to rewind it because I thought I heard wrong.  Cut to today when there are books on the shelf titled "My mom gets angry sometimes", real title.

Just when I thought we had read all the childrens section had to offer ( the neon bag gets 60 books every 2 weeks)  I stumbled upon the "new" section with all the just released books, Score!  New Fancy Nancy, the latest Biscuit, how had I never seen this section.  I enjoy nothing more than reading to the kids, it's the best.  Especially with subject matter like this..............

My children are obviously very cultured.
