Library Days

So every couple of weeks we usually go to the base library.  We go to the library for books of course, but also for the story time, the listening stations where Joe practices telling stories and answering questions, and the computer station for Eve who loves to learn by tech.  It is a great library with an enclosed children's section and arts/crafts sometimes.  This was our last visit to the library for a while due to circumstances and a lack of updated tabs!

 this is Tami, her last day in the children's section

Isn't this adorable?  Joe and Liz sometimes are so like twins when they are together.  This moment they were a little bored with the storytelling and chose to read by themselves.  They shared surprisingly well and I got lots of cute pix.

Even Ally really enjoys the story time at the library.  Due to the number of kids I bring in, we're pretty easy to spot and remember.  Most of the librarians wave hello and come to take a look at who is new and who is growing.  I'm a bit of a pariah, but never looked down upon on base.  I really enjoy the kindnesses of those around us (they often hold doors for us and are patient with tantrums).  Ally is always absorbed by a good story!

Anyway, so this day we read books, listened to stories, and made gingerbread men with construction paper, puffy paints, and sequins.  They turned out wonderfully and made for great decorations in our kitchen.
