Mom and Son Date

I had a dream date on Friday.  Max and I had frozen yogurt and then spent over an hour at Barnes and Noble.  Oh my goodness, we were two book worms in heaven.  I love the library because we don't want to afford all of the books we would love to buy, but a book store is definitely prettier with it's own touch of magic--every single book by every single author laid out in pretty rows on the shelves.  There's the bestseller shelves, picture books, chapter books,everything.  Max spent his dog sitting money on--I Survived the Nazi Invasion and Star Wars the Force Awakens: Before the Awakening.  He wanted desperately to get a book on Pearl Harbor too, lol.  

We looked at so many books and series to get at the library.  Here are just a few samples:

This series looked awesome.  

There was this companion picture book to the series.  We loved the beautiful illustrations.

And then we had to read a few books by Chris Van Allsburg.  We will slowly add to our Chris Van Allsburg collection.  He is great!

And a fun surprise was learning that that there is another Willy Wonka book we didn't even know existed.

The Missing Golden Ticket and Other Splendiferous Secrets.  What a fun surprise!

A fun night with a pretty awesome little man.
