Busy Day!

Whew....Tuesday was a busy day!! We were up at 6:30am so Marc could go to kindergarten in the morning. I picked him up after school, came home and had lunch. Right after lunch we went for his first swim lesson of the fall. After swim lesson we came home and had a nap. After nap we went back to school for his class picnic.

When we first got there there was a little time to play on the playground.It was a crazy sight!! There were probably 50 kindergartners and some siblings all running around on the playground...talk about chaos!!
After some play time it was time to eat.I took Marc picture...I figured it is his school picnic so I would take a picture of him eating....well, Samantha was feeling left out. She shrieked and smiled her scrunched-up nose smile. So, of course I had to take her picture too.After staying at his picnic for just a little while, we headed down to Grand Rapids to the Schuler's Bookstore on 28th Street. One of our favorite authors, Laura Numeroff, was there for a book signing. She write the "If You Give A..." book series and the "What ??/?? Does Best" series. She had 2 new books that just came out. She read her 2 new books and and "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", but she changed the words. All the kids thought it was hilarious!! After she read the books, she signed books.By the time we got home and I got Marc in bed, he was in bed at 9:00pm and I was in bed at 10:00pm. Ugh!
As we were driving to the bookstore, Marc said to me, "Mom, I think I will tell her that I like her books". I thought that was soooo sweet! I am glad that we are raising children to like and appreciate the value of books! :)
