Wheeeee!

I went to a library book sale today. It was smaller than I expected and it was held outside, which annoyed me because it was very hot today. I really don't care for the heat at all unless I have a body of water nearby, preferably chlorinated. ;) I didn't find any books for myself, but I bought a couple for Luke and lots for Katie and, quite by accident, found a book for Brian. :) I'm so excited about this weekend! Tomorrow, the kids and I are going to citywide garage sales in a nearby town. Then, in the evening we'll all be going to a parade. On Saturday, we'll be taking a 2-hour ride on a refurbished (hopefully including A/C!) steam engine and going to a petting zoo, both of which I think Katie will love! There will also be those bouncy things for kids to jump in, another favorite of Katie's. The reason for all the festivities is the town's anniversary celebration. I think it will be a lot of fun, not to mention a fantastic people-watching opportunity. I really love taking in the mannerisms, personalities, dialects, and clothing choices, and thinking about all the questions and assumptions/intuitions swirling around in my frazzled but exceedingly inquisitive mind.

Luke is sleeping. One down, one to go.
