On Friday evening the kids and I went to the library so they could get their own library cards. This was a wildly exciting way to spend a Friday night actually pretty fun. Here they are with their cards sitting in the children's section. (Sorry for the lousy quality, I was using my cell phone camera. I love my Blackberry, but am less than impressed with its camera!).
Gracie picked out a Ramona the Pest book, and a huge book that is way too long for her. She insisted, so I gave in. After all, it's HER library card and HER choices...as she reminded me. Cole chose a couple "Choose your own adventure" books. Remember these? I loved them when I was a kid. He and Paco like to read these together. Here he is at the self-checkout counter stamping his own book. He loved it. He has control issues. I wonder where he got those?
snacking on apples and reading Cole's Guinness book of world records. What a cool book! (thanks, Bubba!) Yes, my daughter has this weird knack of doing really weird stuff with her eyes, which she finds hilarious. 
all settled in....
deluxe hot cocoa with breakfast...
along with vanilla banana flaxseed pancakes....
