Francie, Maisie and I took a trip to the library three weeks ago (and I know that only thanks to the courtesy reminded the books were due Thursday!) to get Francie's first library card and check out some books. We pass the library all the time on our walk into town/work and we used to go to Story Hour when she was little- but slacker mom hasn't taken the girls often enough to use this public service :)

This was a camera phone pic of the girls on the floor at the library I forgot to upload until now (we loved this cute rhyming book called "Class Two at The Zoo")

It was pouring rain that day and I decided to park in the lot closer to our route home but FAR from the entrance. Good thinking huh? And even better thinking taking my phone out to take a picture of Francie in the parking lot in the rain.

"Don't mess with my. I gotta library card." (When I asked the kid behind the desk at the library how old you had to be to get a card he said "uhhhh. Old enough to write your own name. Errr... I guess... It doesn't really matter." Way to have a policy on it dude.)

then- 2.9 weeks later reading the books one last time with Jannie before they expire (and guess who picked out her outfit herself?)

Time to head back to the MPL (with her special Ballet Bag from Christian)

"Come on Jannie..."

My mom took Francie to the library AND to Target last week while I was trying to get my taxes done, from home, with both girls, on my laptop- in their entirety. THANKS O JANNIE!
