We heart the library!

Marin and I discovered the library a couple of weeks ago. Actually Eric went with us as well. He wanted to see if they had up to date computer books (geek!). But Marin and I loved looking through all the books and picking out a few to take home. We also found the DVDs they had. Marin decided on Disney’s The Fox and The Hound. I let her watch it by herself because I can’t watch those sad movies. Don’t like Old Yelller or Where the Red Fern Grows either. Too depressing! So anyway, we have already read the books so we’ll be due back for another visit to the library soon. They are building a brand new library close to our house. Wylie has this huge project they are doing to build a new city hall with a recreational area and the library is going to be moved there as well. They are estimating it to be done by late spring next year. Our neighborhood has two empty lots where we thought the city was going to build us a park but instead they keep telling our HOA that they are going to just build a bridge/walkway to the new complex where we could just walk to the new recreational area or library. That was the plan proposed last year but we still haven’t heard anything else about it. That would be pretty cool if we could just walk over there from our house.

Marin started ballet last night. I asked Eric if he wanted to go and watch her first class with me. He asked if they have wifi there…so I told him nevermind. She did really well and did everything she was told to do. She really enjoyed it and had a smile from ear to ear on the ride home.

Marin was going to be Snow White for Halloween this year but now here lately she has been obsessed with Princess Jasmine from the Aladdin movie. So she told me last night that she wants to be Jasmine for Halloween. When I told her I already bought the shoes to go with her Snow White costume she was not excited. I can easily return the shoes and we already have so many dress-up costumes I bought at a garage sale for $1 each so no big deal. We have the Jasmine costume (it’s basically a genie costume) so I am not upset about it. I told her I would start looking for some shoes that will go with it and once I find them she cannot change her mind again. She was very adamant that Jasmine would be her final choice so I am going to hold her to that.

We are going to Vegas again in October…don’t judge. I remember when it was pretty cheap to go to Vegas. Now the flights alone cost us almost $700 for both me and Eric and that is flying out of Houston. Dallas was even more expensive than that. Crazy! So we decided since my parents are babysitting Marin while we go we would just drive to Diboll and drop her off and drive to Houston to catch a flight. Jason and Jackie are meeting us out there and Eric’s mom has decided to go so it should be a lot of fun!
