This morning I got up with Ron and went to work with him so I could have the car. Why? We’re going to the library y’all! For a field trip!
It is a testament to how much we love books, given all three kids were willing, nay, anxious to get up on some sort of scheduled time that is earlier than usual. Maybe, at least if they felt like it that day.
(We do sometimes get up early. We just don’t get started until… later.)
Anyway, the library we are going to is one of three within driving distance that we haven’t visited yet. Also, someone is giving some sort of talk on something. I dunno. We don’t really care, IT’S THE LIBRARY!
So Ron and I were in the car on the way to work, with substantially less banter than usual, because hey – we just got up. I looked over at him in his winter hat he finally dug out, and his newly shorn hair, and his growing goatee. “Hey, you look just like that guy on MythBusters.” He grinned a little.
“Oh! I could be the other guy! You know, the one who cracks bad jokes and hurts himself? Can you get me the shirt that says ‘I Do All My Own Stunts’? We could be like them, except HouseBusters!”
We seriously need a video camera following us around. (And then edited by us before uploading and broadcast, duh.)
Gotta be there in an hour and Emma is still sleping. Boy, she’s not gonna be happy come mid-afternoon. It’s a 20 minute drive or so. Think I need more caffiene?
We’re supposed to be up early today too – but poor Allie couldn’t sleep last night and was up until 12:30. Her usual bedtime is about 9 or 9:30. She should be pleasant later today too!
Have fun at the library. I wish all my kids were enthusiastic about going, since I can easily spend hours there.
I’m pretty sure your body produces its own brand of caffeine, Andrea!
The library is our kids’ favorite place in the world, pretty much. I think it would even beat out the mall, given the choice. (and the mall has french fries!)
Books, toys, books, movies and books, what more do you need? (Oh, our local one is going to start loaning CONSOLE GAMES soon – wii!)
oh, the library itself was GORGEOUS. I think the building is a hundred years old and it was all decked out for the holidays. The rack of CDs available was HUGE, so we lost Sarah right off. That talk on pioneer life was AWESOME, and I made 3 or 4 new mommy friends. That is, if I didn’t scare them… And I met a lady I knew from our before life, who didn’t reconize me because I wans’t pregnant with Emma any more!
i can’t believe we forgot that outing. I’m so not happy. Oh well. sucks to be me. LOL Kate at the library told me about it when we were in there on Friday, and four days later I had forgotten!!! UGH
Glad you had fun and liked our library.
