Story Time Story

One of the libraries here has a great Story Time. I have been making the effort to go. The girls enjoy it and it is nice to get out. Plus, I get to see some people I really like when I go. Last week they had the kids wear their Halloween costumes. I mention that because that's the day I took pictures, not today.

There's Delaney in her green M&M costume, and you can barely see Rylee next to her. The lady who does the stories is great. There are also songs and finger plays, which make Rylee giggle a lot.

And then there is a craft. The kids love that part the most. I'm not very crafty, so it is fun to let someone else come up with ideas and have everything ready. Rylee's favorite part of the crafts is the glue.

Delaney loves to cut. She is very good with the scissors and stays in the lines very well. Today she did the entire craft all by herself. And it turned out nicely, and recognizable!

The girls were so good this morning for the story and craft, I pushed my luck and dragged them to the grown-ups section so I could look for some books for me. I set them up at a table to "read" their picture books and I perused the shelves. It soon became apparent this was not going to work, as I saw a hand dart out from underneath the table to snatch a book off the lowest shelf. I looked under and there was a pile of books being hoarded by 2 giggling girls. Time to go!

As I finished putting their hoard of books away, I grabbed a running-away Rylee and discovered she had no shoes on. And then I realized she had peed through her diaper. We left the library sans shoes and pants.

I remember those days! That is why I no longer peruse the shelves! Instead, I always pick up the "Book Page" newspaper from our library and always read the "Buy 1 book get 6 free" offers I get in the mail. I have a word document saved to my computer that is 14 pages long of books I want to read. I just go to the library's website and reserve a few books. Then, when I go in, I just have to run to the reserve stack. It's awesome!
