Library Day!
Well today I went to the library! I found several books and the DVD of Orthanger Abbey I reserved came in so I checked it out with several others. I also checked out a few books for good school reading. We are soing unit studies and right now we are starting one on pioneers. There are some really good book series that are like diaries written for juvenile readers called Dear America, The Royal diaries and the American Sister series.. I also found a new series called The Lone Star Journals which obviously are about Texas. Anyway the one I picked up is called Get Along Little Dogies - The Chisholm Trail Diary of Hallie Lou Wells. All seem really great. I also found one called A Pioneer Sampler which is about The Daily Life Of A Pioneer Family in 1840 and it has some recipes to try as well as activities that the children would have done back then. Can't wait to try some of the ideas in the book. Also today was my little great nephew Brendan's first trip to the library. Every time I see him he wants me to read him a book. Sounds like he takes after our side of the family. Most everyone loves to read books! Alicia took some really cute pictures of him "reading" books. I don't think she has had time to put them up yet though. I felt so bad because he was so excited about seeing all the books that he was running and ran right into a bookshelf and his his poor little face. He had a big purple bruise going from his eye to his cheek where he hit. And I know it hurt cause he usually is tough and jumps up but he was crying about it. Anyway he still had a good time. He met two other little boys that were close to his age and helped one of them pick out books. It was cute. The other boy gave him a hug when it was time for him to leave. Well that is all that happened today that was worth telling. Take care and have a great & blessed evening!
