Library adventures.. and other news.

No new recipes. No new book reviews. Just a recount of my evening last night. :)

So, last night, I stopped at the library on the way home from a bbq. I really wanted to get the new Jodi Picoulte books, or the new Naomi Ragen books that thee mentioned, Sare. I knew Caleb had a poopy diaper, but I went anyway. I have no idea how to use the Dewey Decimal system, but I knew how to locate authors by their last names, etc. So, I have both boys, Matthew's fussy, Caleb's waddling beside me, saying, "I'm poopy! I'm poopy!" while I'm looking fast and furiously for "P..Pi...Pic..." No such luck. Then I start looking for "R... Re... Reg...." We're in luck! I grab the three books by her and make our way over to the kids section, at Caleb's urging: "Me read it? Read it bus? Read it choo-choo? I'm poopy!"

So, we hurry over to the kids' section; I'm carrying the car-seat with a crying baby, Caleb's waddling, saying, "I'm poopy! I read it!" Again, no idea how to use the dewey system, so I grab the first few books that Caleb grabs (by Woodie Guthrie, of all people!) and head to the desk, then out the door.

The evening is full of tears for both boys; Matthew's just plain fussy and fusses himself to sleep, and Caleb's bottom hurt, so I bathed him, much to his chagrin. But, whew! Once they were both ensconced in their respective sleeping arrangements, they were quiet for the night. :)

Oh, and yesterday, there was a sunbeam on the kitchen floor that Caleb had to jump over each time we went back and forth to the sink, etc. I thought of a title for a future book of mine: Jumping over Sunbeams and Other Adventures of Motherhood.

That's it for now. I haven't tried any new recipes or anything, but I look forward to seeing Shelley and Joel next week! :) Caleb's been talking about you guys non-stop. He's been talking about all the cousins, for that matter. :) Every time he puts his shoes on, he heads to the door to "See Doot?" :)

Love you guys--kak
