Adventures at the Library

Look at me, I have a little more to say today than the 3 things from the kids.

First here is my 3 things :)

In the past, I have let the kids pick up a book or a DVD when I go to pick up or drop off a book at the library.  Zander needed to get a book about an animal to do a book report for school.  While we were looking I suggested to the kids that we check and see if they can get their very own library card.  They were super excited about this idea.  When we checked, they told us that as long as a parent is there, they can get their own cards.  So we signed them up and they were able to check out their own books.  They both wanted to put the cards in their pockets and were not too happy when I told them that I was going to put them in my wallet with my card so they wouldn't get lost.  But that only lasted a minute and they were OK with it.

Also, when I picked up the kids from school, I noticed Zander's shoe was "talking" to me.  I forgot to take a picture of it, but by talking I mean that the sole had come loose from his shoe and was flapping when he walked.  We immediately went to the shoe store (I never have any luck with his shoe size at the DI) to pick up a new pair.  Turns out he needed a size 4 - 4 1/2 shoe.  The ones he was wearing were size 3.  I don't know how he can wear the shoes that are too small day in and out and not complain about them hurting.  We just had him wear the shoes out of the store and he threw the old ones away.

As if this isn't enough adventures for one day, we still have to go to SEP conference for Zander and then I have book club tonight as well.  I think that Tony is going to come over and help the neighbor with some car repairs while I am there for book club.  So it is probably going to turn into "The Beauchaine's invade the Wampler's".  Should be fun :)  One of these days our lives are going to slow down, right?

Here are the 3 things for today for the kids.

Zander

#1 I watched a movie about kindness
#2 I wrote down about the things in the movie that were kind
#3 I did math today.  I had to go from pages 27 to 40 (that seems like a lot to me, he said he didn't make it all the way).

Abby

#1 The first thing I did was go to school with dad and brother and Dexter
#2 I um....um...um...played in my playground
#3 I did painting.  I painted a glory.  (I asked her what that was and she just shrugged her shoulders and told me I don't know.
