Tuesday evening is our library evening. Usually I go online ahead of time and put a hold on the books we want. Then all we have to do is just pick them up. It saves a lot of time and headache when taking along three little boys ages 3, 2, and 1. We do give Austin and Amanda a few minutes to look around, but they usually know what they are looking for when we go in and it doesn't take them long at all.

And I couldn't resist snapping a picture of Doug playing with puzzles. Actually he was cleaning up a mess that two little boys had made.
