A Walk in the Park

Library time

Well, I read a couple of books this week. I read The Help by Kathryn Stockett which was awesome and wonderful. I really loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. Of course it's all about the south and race relations, topics I am already interested in.

I read The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale. Mostly because I felt like I should read something by her because she's successful and LDS, but I didn't love it. I only kept reading because I wanted to find out what happened. I skimmed a lot of it.

I love my local library. We got a family pass to go to the Natural History Museum from them. Thank you very much, it made for a great Yom Kippur last Monday! Sammy loves his weekly story time there. Seriously, it's the best 1/2 hour. And Ms. Mary plays the accordian. And she told me she loved Matthew's exuberance and hope he always keeps that trait with him. It's so great when other people compliment your kids unexpectedly!

And then somehow I jumped from #32 in the hold line to #1 for the DVD's of No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. I've watched 4 of the 7 episodes and it's so fun. I loved the books and the show is great too.

My librarian at the other library I go to also extended my due date for our missing DVD, Curious George Leads the Band. So I have a month to look for it. Thanks Stephanie!

I love the library website and visit it often to put stuff on hold for me and the kids.

My mom instilled a great love of the library for us, she's a big fan too.
