In the infinite wisdom of the PTA, they hold a fundraiser book sale at the same time as Parent/Teacher conferences. Great for fundraising, but also a hard time for parents as they have to tell their children “No, we cannot get everything that you see.”
Fortunately, the elementary library was clearing out old books that they didn’t want on their shelves. So the boys picked up nearly all the Bernstain Bears books that we didn’t already have. (They were very excited about this.)
Here you see them devouring books while waiting for me and Dave to finish talking to some neighbors.
