Looking for trouble
Quiet is good, except when it gets too quiet...you know the kind of quiet I mean. Too quiet can mean trouble. So I sometimes I have to go looking for trouble. And this time, I love what I found ...

The Library
We love the library & are always so excited to sign up for the summer reading programs that the local libraries offer. The amazing prizes they give out are a great incentive to read lots and lots of books. So this summer we spent a lot of time reading thousands of pages of so many, many books. We discovered some new favorite series along the way.
We gained a newfound respect for all those working at library who kept the shelves stocked with so many great books. Thank goodness for those summer volunteers they have! Our favorite volunteer was a kid named Michael...maybe you've met him too?
Michael logged 33.5 hours of volunteer work this summer at the library, going in to work at least twice a week for the 2 1/2 months of the reading program. He capped off the summer by working one of the children's games at the end-of summer party. Needless to say, that was our favorite stop at the party!
When they wern't busy hitting up Michael's game spot, Jake spent most of the evening dancing up a storm with the children's librarian & Luke was busy stealing Jake's drink.
Yay for books and fun libraries!

Party at the Library!
Tonight was the end of Summer Reading Program at the library. The kids had a blast, gorging themselves on free hot dogs, snowcones, ice cream, cookies, popcorn & candy. They also had areas where they could play games and win prizes, face painting and bouncing on the moonwalk (and surprisingly enough, I didn't see one kid barf after eating all that food and jumping!). And just in case they didn't eat enough junk food there, they handed out goody bags with candy and gum to each kid on the way out the door.
Talk about motivating a kid to read...the library rocks!
