Lazy Day

Today has been a very lazy day. It was planned intentionally after our busy day yesterday. I was completely worn out. We are all still wearing our pajamas (except for "Miney" who just came out to the kitchen twirling in a fancy dress she pulled out of her closet). Last night, I went to our local library book sale, where I was able to purchase many of our books for next school year at much cheaper prices. I came home with a cartload and was pleased with my finds. Many of my books are nice hardbacks, which I'm hoping will wear well through all of the kids. I always pray before I go, and the Lord has never disappointed me. I also get a few fun (meaning non-school) books for each child (per their request), and they always squeal with glee and attack the cart as soon as I walk in the front door :-) "Eenie's" favorite book choice was an Elsie Dinsmore book, "Meanie's" favorite choice was a rocket and space book, and "Miney's" favorite book was "Baby Beluga". My favorites were hardback copies of "Burgess Bird Book" and "Burgess Animal Book" with color illustrations :-) I'm glad to see my children enjoying books. We have already read several of them and enjoyed looking through the pictures on several others. At some point, we need to stop reading and clean house. It looks like a war zone in here :-)
