A Book Vending Machine?!

Yes!

We took a stroll downtown tonight and I was so excited when I saw it.

There it was, bright neon lighting, shimmery books row after row, so high tech and awesome.

And there I was googly eyed and drooling.


Mitch was rushing me as I took this photo, but hey! It's not everyday you see a vending machine full of books just waiting to be checked out and read! This is the gist of our conversation...

This is so cool! You can park your car as you rush to get to the train station (across the walkway from the SOCO West parking garage---literally about 2 minutes away from the book vending machine), think to yourself, 'Aww man, I wish I would've brought a book with me to enjoy on the long train ride to Los Angeles...' and then BOOM! Right before you is a book vending machine! Grab a book and catch your train! It's genius!!! -me

Yeah, ok. Let's go home.-Mitch

Sigh. Anyway, if you're a Fullertonian with a Fullerton Public Library card and you really need to check out a book before you catch a train, hit up this seriously cool vending machine. It would make me proud, not to mention hundreds of librarians across the land. Not to mention your 3rd grade teachers. Not to mention AMERICA!

Swimming, Library, Shimmy, Shake, Repeat...

For the next few weeks we will be doing a few summer activities around here!

We signed James up for summer swim for 2 weeks (Monday-Friday 6:30-7pm) and today was the first session! He LOVED it! Not to mention he was so wiped out that he fell right to sleep after dinner (yay!)

Today the younglings were introduced to the water: make bubbles, kick a little, float on their back, etc. and during the next few sessions we will get into some basic swimming fundamentals.

Next week we kick off "Book Babies Storytime" at our local library on Mondays + Wednesdays. 30 minutes of songs, books, and a little dancing! The time goes by so quick and I love that James has his very own laminated name tag :)

I'm looking forward to all of this extra mommy-son time with my baby boy. I'm planning on soaking him up for the next 10 weeks, just us!



ps-can YOU believe Henry will be here in 10 short weeks?! Neither can I! 

Coming soon: maternity photos, a special post to Henry, and a little recap of our NYC adventure we took a few weeks ago!
