Little Borrowers

It's spring break! There's no place we need to be, and lots of things we want to do, all at our own pace. With nothing more exotic on our itinerary, our girls were more than satisfied with a much-anticipated trip to the library for story time. (See what happens when you set the standards so low...it doesn't take much to impress this bunch!)

Megan and Bridget usually miss this Tuesday tradition when they're at school. So, it was exciting to see all of my girls enjoying this today. The older girls didn't miss a beat, literally, with all of the same old songs.


And, of course, we colored...




Our lovely librarian has been reading stories and singing songs to these girls since Megan was old enough to appreciate good literature :) Today, we got a picture with her!


Mary was an angel, as always.


But, by far, the most exciting activity was getting library cards for Bridget,


and Megan! What big girls! I'm hoping these cards get abused and cherished for many years.


Hopefully, the massive pile of new books and ancient videos we checked out will keep these girls occupied a little. I'm on my own this week while Matt is away on business (read: baseball tournament), and I'm left to my own devices for four days. Yikes! Yes, I'm very spoiled that this happens very rarely.) I'm also lucky that this solo time coincides with spring break, too! No rushed mornings or harried evenings for these girls.

Now, on to our next leisurely mommy-time activity. Snuggly reading, painting everyone's fingernails and toenails, and watching a straight-to-VHS Princess Jasmine relic from the 90's. Good times :)
