For family night, we went to the used bookstore. Grant really wanted to go look for "I Spy" books. Before leaving, we talked about how Heavenly Father wants us to learn all the time and to read good books. Grant decided an "I Spy" book was good because it helped you use your imagination. We figured that imagination is a really good thing for him to be working on!
We were excited to find a TON of hardcover I Spy books for only $5 each. Grant chose "I Spy School Bus" and Blake chose "I Spy Spooky Mansion". Hayden chose a Mickey Mouse alphabet book ($3), and Travis and I chose Leaves of Grass ($4), Canterbury Tales ($4), and The Bedside Book of Famous French Stories ($2.64). The French Stories book looks pretty cool! It's a first printing and copyrighted 1945. It's got short stories from Balzac to Sartre. I'm going to feel hoity-toity while I read. Also, Cosette loves her colors board book (.25)!
Cute!! I love the pic, and the FHE idea is great! I wish we had a decent used bookstore in Visalia!
ReplyDeleteThat's way more fun than our FHE! We tried to take a loaf of homemade bread to an inactive couple and they weren't home...AGAIN! Glad the Johnsons like my bread. We took it to them instead! We ended the evening with boring errands. Love your pic today.
