My New Obesssion - Little Free Libraries!

 Taking the cousins on a "field trip" Auntie Mo-style.

 The drawing of our work in progress...

 Our supply to fill our Little Free Library(TM) and keep updating books that don't cycle out often.

 Our official registration...
 A LFL up in Nisswa (My first swap!)

 Another LFL in Maple Grove...
A few months back I discovered an international movement creating free libraries in neighborhoods all over the world. It started in Hudson, Wisconsin and has spread to countries near and far. I LOVED this idea and have become rather obsessed with starting one of our own. I have a friend's dad making one for us (My Mother's Day gift from Josh) and I have the official registration and we are ready to get started as soon as it's finished. In the meantime we have come across a few in our summer travels and keep a supply of books in the car to swap when we find one! Take a book, Leave a book. It's free, it's fun and it keeps things interesting :)

Swimming lessons is OVER! We ended with a Level 2 and a Level 5 and major improvement from both. Riley can back crawl the entire length of the pool unassisted and Rowan is doing great with his front and back floats. AMAZING since he wouldn't even put his face in for the first few weeks!

Our "Graduate"

Rowan graduated from 3-year-old PreK today! Only one more year of PreK in this house...weird! They did a bunch of silly songs and then we had ice cream! Then we went out for a summer celebration lunch, just the two of us! YEAH for summer!!! And YEAH his teachers survived the year of 15 boys and 3 girls!
