The Book Mobile

This morning my husband went out to run some errands and I had lots of library books to return. It always amazes me that we are able to collect them all after they get scattered throughout the house during the 8 weeks that we usually have them. However, this morning we weren't so lucky and were missing an otter book. I put out a reward of a mini Tootsie Pop for the hero who found it. Nobody did. Right before my husband backed out of the driveway in his car, I thought to check the van. Out of the 50 books in there, the otter book was not one of them.


Yes, there were literally 50 books in the van. They all went back inside the house. And we did eventually find the otter book after turning the playroom upside down, but we will have to pay the $0.15 fee for being a day late. It's coming out of the kid's piggy bank.


This evening as I tried to get the playroom back together, I locked the kids outside with their Daddy, but easily got distracted and took a bunch of pictures of them playing at the front door.



Jason is realizing he can't pick his sister's nose through the glass.

Jason is trying to tell me that it's time to bring in the the Christmas snowmen door mat.







Now I'm going to have a fun-filled evening of getting the playroom back in order!

    Hooray books! :) It's amazing how books multiply. I moved over here with only 10 and now I've got over 50. I'm not sure if I'm embarrassed or proud.

    I would have just gone to the library on-line site and clicked to renew the otter book for a few more weeks until it showed up. I hate paying fines.

    Hm, Rachel always reminds me of David's and my mom. Especially in the video of her walking.

    Does your library do 'vacation' lending, or extended lending? Growing up we always checked ours out for 6 weeks at a time. Then if you have to renew, you can have them even longer. My mother found it easier for summers with 6 kids home and most of us were readers. It might help, though I don't know if they renew the extended lending books.

    Becca - our library only allows us to check out books for 4 weeks with one renewal. I don't believe that there is any extended lending. That would be cool!

    Chera - are you saying that you think your mom walks like a drunken midget?

    No! I meant her smile. Good heavens, you'll get me in trouble.
