Summer Library Program

 (Summer 2018)

This summer we have hit the library every Monday for fun shows and  get new books to read.

The shows have been from magic shows, to puppet shows to animal shows.  The kids have really liked it and its been good to check out new reading material each week.  Both Miles and Andie signed up for the reading program this year.  Miles had to read 10 books a week and Andie needed 10 books read to her in order for them to get the weekly prize they had for the kids.  It was a fun incentive to keep Miles reading over the summer.  It was a good experience for all of us and I am pretty sure we will keep this up through all of grade school for each of them.

It was darling to watch the two kids walk hand in hand into the library each week.

The kids really loved the reptile show.  Especially Miles, he is our reptile loving boy. He was in heaven seeing all the snakes, turtles, lizards and frogs.

And the most memorable show for me was the puppet show.  As all the kids were sitting on the floor completely captivated I was in the back taking care of baby Lane.  He had a super soaker diaper and needed a fresh diaper.  I just decided to quietly change him on my lap.  My friend Rachel whispered in my ear "you're brave, do you ever worry he's going to poop on you?" and right at that second Lane exploded!! He pooped all over my shirt, my pants, my arm, it got the chair next to me, it splattered on my glasses...it went everywhere. My friend and I were laughing so hard and we were trying to be quiet and not cause a scene.  We were dying. There was so much to clean and we didn't                        know where to start. Rachel pulled out her phone and snapped a few pictures and we kept laughing.  We used every wipe in the diaper bag and began the mad dash clean up. It just smeared all over my jeans and shirt and it smelled gross.  The puppet show was wrapping up and the kids wanted to look for some books to check out and I just wanted to get out of there!  I ended up letting them get books really fast! They found books they wanted and I just walked around with a huge blanket that covered my whole body with a baby in my arms.  It looked so awkward and you could smell me a mile away BUT dang it we got new books for the week.

But look at that cute face.....how can anyone be mad????
