Grocery shopping and the library

We went to the library (a new one we haven't tried before), and then went to this great playground a couple streets down. I wish I could find a picture of it, but it's one of the Legion parks that is all wood and huge and well-kempt. The best thing is that there's a bathroom there!

So we spent a couple hours out and about with Krista and her son Aedhan, who stopped by with fries right before we were heading out :). Gotta love friends who come with food!

The girls got some great books - Soren got a fiction book about a kid who wants a rat, in addition to a Junie B. Jones book, an audio tape of Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends , a CD of kids music, a version of Sleeping Beauty, and a bunch of other stuff. Emma got a book about King Midas, a multicultural cookbook for kids, Holes , and I got them a book for homeschooling about famous painters. They want to have a music lesson today and a greek roots lesson, so as soon as I take a quick nap and start dinner, we'll do that.

Tonight Emma starts fall season of gymnastics and tomorrow we will spend doing Lilac Children's Garden stuff. Soren has her open house, and I meet w/ her teacher and then there's a parents' meeting tomorrow night at yet another library, which I haven't gone into, but used the dropoff bin last week.

I also got a response from the school district that they are in receipt of my IHIPs and I should get a letter from the superintendent next week sometime. Hope everything is OK!
