SUMMER READING
Lauren Hansen, 8, reads outside of the Idaho Falls Public Library on Tuesday while waiting for her family. She and her siblings had a bag full of books that they checked out.

If you're reading this today, Wednesday, you can check out Lauren here. Click on 'top story.' The photographer said he was from the Post Register and the picture on the cover of her book caught his eye. I had noticed a guy snapping pictures from across the lawn and was glad to know he was just from the paper. Pretty cool, considering so many kids were at the library that day. I actually try to make it a point NOT to go to the library during storytime, it is just so packed and Noah has a hard time paying attention when so much is happening around him. But we gave it a try and still managed to come away with a huge and heavy load of books. They were doing construction, so we parked far away. When we finally reached the van, I couldn't find the keys and sent Lauren and Chloe back in to retrieve them from the checkout desk. Turns out I'd let Ivy play with them and she'd fallen asleep with them in her hand. This is morphing into a post about my irresponisbility with keys this week. On Monday I lost Cody's car key on the path between the Greenbelt and Freeman Park while jogging. I went around the Greenbelt again then finally found it on my way back to the car. All the while fomulating a lost ad in my mind, I wasn't feeling very hopeful. It worked out fine, I just logged about 7 miles that day. Anyway, that's what I've been up to, trying to keep track of it all, especially keys. The girls start knothole baseball today for 6 weeks so that will be fun. Happy summer reading to all!
