this is our haul from the trip to the library this morning:
we’ve got everything from extreme science to
bike repair to learning to speak chinese
(and that’s just my 8 yr old’s bag).
if the kids pace themselves,
it should
last them almost the week.
then we’ll head back again, jiggity jig.
yup, they know us by name.
when i was 14 and researching term papers
at the very same public libraray,
i would never have guessed that someday
(which is now)
i’d be bringing my kids back
to the very same building to haul home their very own books.
coming round full circle is cool, but slightly odd, too.
‘haul’ taken from 21:5-6 of john.
Looks as if I’m not the only one who needs book bags that carry at least fifty pounds! 🙂 It’s lovely when children are readers.
my mum got all the kids these strong canvas bags for the library. no way they’re going to rip under a heavy load. now the problem is that they load them up so that they can’t carry them and i become the book pack mule. must teach a little (not much be a little) moderation. smile.
