Fun Monday

One of the most exciting days of the year for Lincoln came on Monday . . . it was the start of the Book Fair!  Mommy was the volunteer for the lunch shift, and Lincoln was so excited to come shop.  He looked at each book carefully and made his selections with so much thought.  He got Lego books, Scooby books, Ninja Turtle books, National Geographic books, and even a Magic School Bus Solar System book for Beau.  Most fun ever!
Mommy and Ally were reminiscing about how much they loved the Book Fair when they were kids, and the most important decision was always the poster.  We both had numerous kitten posters each year that Minnie and Bubbles somehow allowed - crazy!!  We are both certain that back in our days a kitten poster came free with the purchase of four books.  These days posters are $4.95!  Luckily, Lincoln didn't notice and perhaps won't fall prey to the kitten poster trend.  (We are also sure that these may be the exact same kitten posters from 22 years ago!)   
Lincoln has really enjoyed his new books.  Daddy is having lunch at school on Thursday, and they are planning to take a swing through the library.  Lincoln is hopeful that he gets Daddy to buy him a few more books! 
Beau had a fun day at school on Monday too.  He made a pair of binoculars and painted them lots of colors.  After they dried, he entertained his best girl Olive!  She and Beau are best friends for sure.  Sweet Olive really "gets" Beau.  Her crazy giggles at Beau's binoculars were too funny! 
We took Lincoln for his tennis lesson, but it was too cold for Beau and Mommy to play tennis this Monday.  We sat by the fire for a while then did a few crafts in the warmth of the club.   
The fun never stops, right?
