Snow Day Augusta!

img_347710 Years in the making, but we finally got a snow day.  Gabby was thrilled! Check out these pictures.  Gabby kept wanting to eat the snowman’s nose.  We didn’t have any coal so we had to paint some rocks.  Soon the snow melted and we were left with only memories and these pictures.  It was a blast.  Throwing snowballs at each other, rolling a huge ball of snow around the house to build the snowman, and sipping hot chocolate by the fire to warm up.
When April left to go home on Friday night she almost ran over 2 kids rolling a 5 ft tall snowball down the street.  It was a wintry dream come true… for every one of us kids.

LIBRARY CARD – What Does Sliced Bread Have on This?

Posted by Ryan McKinney on 2009/06/02 in Family with 5 Comments


My First Library Book and Card!What does Sliced  Bread have on going to the Library and getting your own library card when you’re 3? NOT ONE THING.

Gabby absolutley had a blast.  The look on her face when the Librarian asked her if she wanted to take some books home was priceless.  She still cannot believe that they let us take them out.  And when the Librarian asked her if she wanted her very own library card, oh my…

It was as close as you can get to Christmas to her.  Her disbelief about the “taking books” is still just amazing to me.  Come to think of it, it was pretty amazing the things you can check out at the library now.

  • Audio Books
  • Books
  • CDs
  • DVDs
  • Electronic Media
  • Films
  • Ok I have nothing for “G”

You get the picture.  Well, you’ll be happy to know that our little bookworm sees the library as necessary as the grocery store now.

Thanks for all of your encouragement.

We Want To Know What YOU Think…
Scroll to the bottom of this post and “leave a reply” of your favorite childhood book.  Gabby will check it out the next time we go to the library.

And yes…

It is ok to judge a book by it’s cover.  Especially when you are 3!

Gabby’s First Books She Checked Out

  1. The Hannuka Moon
  2. Hooray For Today
  3. A Butterflies Life
  4. The Blizzard
  5. Optomothimus

Until then…

Ryan McKinney

P.S.  Don’t LOSE your library card or you’ll have to teach your kids what Gabby learned the other day.  Daddies that lose library cards have to pay $2 to get a replacement. I’ll never forget her shaking her finger at me ;)
