Monday morning syndrome has struck the Denen house. Sleepy heads abound. The week-end does that to us..:) And the one child who needed "alone time" yesterday afternoon, pulled a Rip Van Wrinkle so when bedtime rolled around she wasn't sleepy and stayed up later coloring in her bed. Good thing it's a reading and library day. Every other Monday afternoon we trek to the library to bring home a boatload of books and sometimes a themed kit that we can check out for a whole month. Well, today our Egypt Kit is due so we are going to spend the morning, drinking coffee ( they get a little bit with flavored creamer - I get black straight up - and A LOT) gleaning all we can and making up question and answer cards from the books. Each girl will get to choose some interesting facts and write them down in question/answer for so we can play a game with them later, so....gotta go for now....my coffee cup is empty.

8 hours later.....
Here's a recap of the day:
read the rest of our Magic School House Sandstorms in the Desert Book
I drew a picture of a camel from it...:)
all three girls took notes from Egypt library books for our question game we are making.....
Maddie and Hannah made a fairy land for her little fairies with flower petals and items around the house.....
read a couple chapters from our Pixie Hollow fairy book
Rick came home for lunch.....
read the first 2 chapters of Pippi Longstocking, despite complaints of my choice
because the girls thought it would be stupid and boring...it made them all laugh,
even Rick and everyone listened intently...:)
finished lunch and cleaned up.....
Maddie continued play with her little fairies.....
Grace took quiet time in her room.....
Hannah and I got some deals at Kroger and headed to the library for more books....
made dinner together...
everyone did assigned clean up duties.....
started to make choc chip cookies with caramel, but didn't have margarine or butter...
took a bike ride/walk with the neighbors,
went out to peek at newly born bunnies (mama had them covered though)......
time for bed.............
girls are all in their own rooms reading before lights out...
which will be soon....
so we don't have another slow going morning...
And so it went on our reading day....

Need Coffee..especially in the morning..but it sounds like all of you had a very busy day!! So which book was the best?? Do you keep the Library busy?? Ours only lets us check out 5 at a time. I bet the Bunnies were cute anyway.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is my friend...wow, difficult to choose a favorite book. I would say that day, it was Pippi Longstocking! Our library does not have a limit thankfully except for movies (only 2 per card). We usually have a backpack full!
