You're the Best, Mom!

After dropping Marina off at rehearsal (4 more till Opening Night!) Johnstone & Company were itching to go to the park, the store or the library... pretty much in that order. Being a little too chilly out yet & not up to the challenge of corralling 5 in a grocery cart or just keeping them close by we opted for the library. The little kids LOVE to look at all the hard paged books & play with the animal puppets, while the bigger kids search for new stories or music. Morgan has been going gangbusters on reading the WARRIORS Series... flying through around 100 pages a day & was already on Book #6. She had asked before the weekend at her school library for it, but someone else was a step ahead of her. We immediately hit the shelves & found that only 1, 3 & 5 were in... DRATS! Off to the electronic card catalog to see if we could request it or when to expect its return when I stumbled on the fact that they actually had a copy... in paperback... on the spindles in the kids section. We looked past the BoxCar series, the Harry Potter Books, Nancy Drew & Geronimo Stilton & found WARRIORS Book 6! I pulled it out & handed it over to Morgan, who was frantically searching a different spindle. She quietly squealed & hugged it to her chest & uttered those 4 fantastic words... You're the Best, Mom!
