Somehow, I’m always surprised we have to eat dinner around dinner time. Strange. I also need to work on *returning* library books. It doesn’t happen every time.. but every third or fourth visit something happens to my brain that makes it impossible to return them in a timely manner. It’s really awful. Don’t be like me!

I hope this is the last of your power outages for the season. I’m so glad to hear that you now have power again. And I’m glad you had someplace warm to go! I was thinking of you and your family. I’m so glad the tree missed the house! We live in the middle of the woods and I know the fear of trees falling. Good luck on your goals and cleanup!

I love the idea of bringing home stacks of books by a particular author! I don’t think we’ve read Frank Asch, and we’ve only read Audrey Wood’s alphabet books, so maybe we’ll start with one of them! Thanks for the suggestion!

My mom has special memories of her time alone with my younger brother. My youngest are twins, so I didn’t get that special time. We try to find time for special mom and dad alone time with each child at our house. Time seems to slip by quickly. My goal for this month is to get some alone time with each child.
I like your goal of preparing for Christmas this month. That’s my second goal. (I can reach that one if I even prepare a little bit for Christmas this month.)
One more thing . . . When my kids were young, we liked to check out stacks of books by one author at a time on our library visits. It was a fun way to get to know some popular authors and find some favorites. We liked: Audrey Wood, Robert Munsch, Dr. Suess, Laura Joffe Numeroff, Mercer Mayer, Frank Asch, and Eric Carle. Have fun at the library with Lily.
