We are so lucky to have the library so close to us. It is only a couple blocks a way and we go weekly to get new books and videos. Since moving to Buffalo we have had no TV and its been great. We only watch our "shows" from the Library now. I do miss TV
every once in awhile - like
HGTV and Food Network , well and
a lot of others - so its been good for our family to have it
completely removed from us. Anyways its hard for me as a mother to let my children choose their own books and movies. I don't have to censor anything yet - but there are those books that I just can't stand. For example - The
Bernstain Bears- they are so boring!!!! but my kids like them. Usually I will try to talk them out of it and find something else, but I usually let them chose the books so they can't blame me for a boring book.
So this week Oliver brought me his selections. The first two books he gave me at the same time and I just had to laugh and laugh and laugh. I couldn't stop, who knows maybe because I'm pregnant - but I thought it was so funny. He kept saying "What? What? WHAT?" He is so funny. Only a five year old boy could be interested in both Skateboarding and a Winnie the Pooh book at the same time. Or maybe there are some very sensitive Pooh loving skateboarders out there too. You never know. (Don't you love the hearts on the Pooh Book). I Love Oliver.

I used to love taking my kids to the library. Wow-that was a long time ago. Anyway. . .that is really neat that your husband is in school. Guess what?

Now you've done it - Jeffrey says we can't be friends any more because you think the Berenstain Bears are boring :) Good luck getting yourself out of this one :)
LOVE Oliver's selections! I first looked at the picture before reading the post and thought - Oliver picked the skateboard book and Penelope picked the Pooh book!
That is hilarious! My kids love the library, too. Carson will pick out an entire bag full of books and still want more.
Oliver is so grown up now! Both he and Penelepe are so cute! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your cute pictures.
Love the two totally different books. I hope you guys are doing good. John and Gage saw your pictures and John says Mom I remember them. We miss ya. Lexington isn't the same without ya. Caridaun
