Keeping To The Schedule

As always with preschoolers, our days run more smoothly if we stick to our schedule like glue. Not that silly Elmers glue, I'm talking heavy duty Gorilla glue. Does it always happen? Of course not! If 'stick to your schedule' was the first thing I learned about preschoolers, then 'be flexible' was the second thing. It's not always possible to be exactly on schedule. There is only one of me and there are 5 of them in varying ages. I try my best though.

So we have been continuing our Friday trips to the Library... just every other Friday instead of every Friday. We stop at the playground nearby to 'get our runs and yells out' if it's decent outside and make it in time to pick out some books before the story time for 3 & 4yr olds.

Today we came home with quite a haul, as always.
Books
Tonight on the Titanic (Magic Tree House Series #17) Dinnertime! Scaredy Squirrel Has a Birthday Party Night Boat to Freedom The Feelings Book Little Blue Truck Leads the Way Seymour Simon's Book of Trucks Smash! Crash! (Jon Scieszka's Trucktown Series) Truck Song Hey, Mr. Choo-Choo, Where Are You Going? Car Wash
Movies
 Thomas & Friends: Merry Winter Wish Life of Mammals, Vol. 2
and an audio book
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman

They also painted a picture of The Cat In The Hat and Thing One and Thing Two... because today is Dr Seuss birthday. You might think that they would want to borrow Dr Seuss books on a day like today, but I'll be honest with you. Since I have 20 Dr. Seuss books and another 5 Cat in the Hat Bright and Early books for Beginning Beginners in my home library we would've had trouble finding ones we don't have out of the small selection that hadn't already been borrowed.

It was a very successful outing :)
