The bookstore
Every Friday after school, we take the kids to the bookstore. They each get to pick out one book. This tradition goes along with our philosophy that books are “free” and the kids don’t need to spend allowance money on them.
My kids love the outgoing and searching for the next find. Most troops they gravitate to the same section or series, but sometimes they try something new. Last week one of them picked out a book all about the upcoming eclipse. They are excited for our trip to see it and wanted to learn as much about it as they could.
I’m not sure what they will pick out today. I will enjoy the time with them and discussing their choices. I might even pick up something for myself, maybe a cross sticking pattern book or an adventure novel.
