I told you already about the eye doctors appointments so I will skip that except to say that this photo is of a decoration I saw there. On Tuesday my little one and I went to the final toddler playtime at our local library. It was such fun for my daughter I wish it continued weekly but in mid March a story hour will start up and that should be nice too. At the thrift store my daughter works at they had a big bag of children books they were going to throw out. I went shopping there then took those books home with me to fill up little free libraries with. Wednesday I moved as I was waking up and wrenched my neck. It’s bothered me since. My daughter has been wanting a smoothie so I made her one for the first time and she loved it. We dyed some rice and added it to her sensory bin. Looks nice and colorful. My daughter has been calling ponies nay-he’s which is similar to the sound one makes. I thought it might make you smile. Saturday was a busy day. My husband, my stepson and their friend went hunting and then went to an annual rabbit hunt dinner event. They left before I got up and got home after I went to bed. It was a long drive. I took my son to get blood work and then he, my little one and I left town. We went to the mall for a meet and greet event for Daniel Tigers Neighborhood. My son had gone along with us so he could look for some clothes at the mall and thrift stores but he didn’t find any anywhere we looked. My nose ran non stop the entire day but I had a nice time out with two of my kids. Sunday I finished up a book called “The night we met” by Debbie Macomber and Lee Tobin McClain. I didn’t care for either story in the book.

This is a nice decoration, they are ready for St Patrick's day already. I am glad you took the books that they were throwing, it is a shame to throw books. I hope your son will find something he likes at the thrift stores next time you visit.

@LadyDuck they try to have the Salvation Army pick up anything that doesn’t sell but they will only come sometimes and for some things. I am very thankful they allow me to have the books to put in little free libraries. Very often in the city the little free libraries are completely bare so it makes me happy to fill them knowing people want them so badly there and this may be there only access to books.

@shaggin - I am doing the same with books. I bring to the old phone booths that have been converted to small free libraries.

Your little one calling ponies "nay" did make me smile. Getting those books for the free library was lucky and I'm sure whomever goes to the free library will enjoy them. We have a few of those little libraries around town and I've put a few books in them here and there. All in all it sounds like you had a pretty good week. Hope this week is going well for you.

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry you hurt your neck. I hope it feels better soon. That's cute about the nay-he's. I used to call my rocking horse a rock-a-moo. Hope you have a good day.

@LindaOhio that is so cute you used to call your rocking horse that. The things kids say are so adorable. My neck has been driving me nuts.

Thank you for sharing your week's activities Shanny. It sounds like you had a mix of fun and busy days, from library playtime to rescuing children's books, experiencing neck pain, making smoothies, and enjoying time with your kids. Your daughter's pony antics and the mall event for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood added some joy despite a non-stop runny nose. Finishing a book may not have been as satisfying, but it's all part of life's adventures!

@RebeccasFarm thank for reading my post so thoroughly I appreciate it. I don’t think a lot of people do they probably don’t have the time too or get bored reading it. I finally today got to see the photo they took of us at the Daniel Tigers neighborhood event.

@wolfgirl569 it was nice. This week has been nice too. Going to a geocaching meet up tomorrow with my little one. It’s going to be very cold but I’m excited. She’ll have a snow suit on.
