the place with all the books...


why i am even admitting this for the world to know is beyond me, but...

i went to the library for the first time since i moved here this morning. yes, i know what your thinking....
"shannon, you have 3 children 4 and under, how could you have never taken them to the library?"

and the answer is simply this...
because libraries gross me out! i imagine where these books have been, what nasty hands have touched them, and what germs i will be bringing into my home when i bring them in.

but alivia is very into stories right now, and i've been breaking the bank with all the dough i've been dropping on our ever growing book collection.
so today, i decided to give the whole nasty borrowing a book thing a try....
with antibacterial in hand of coarse! ;)

alivias eyes were filled with wonderment as she strolled along picking out the books she would be taking home with her very own library card. we read a few, we played with other children, we had fun.

and now, i'm kinda wondering why i never gave this whole library thing a try before?
