Also the library Spring book sale starts this weekend. The book sales here are usually huge (although the fall one is usually the largest) and I missed all of them last year and year before since we didn't live here. I am immensely excited. I'm going to attempt going the first day and taking Parker but strollers usually don't fit well. So, I'll leave her with her Dad this Sunday and next Sunday and go alone for sure. #booksale #librarybooksales

Reviewsbylola I always try not to take my kids to book sales. They really impede my ability to concentrate. 😂 8y
Vexingcircumstance @Reviewsbylola indeed. Lol. The biggest issue here is that they're just so crowded I can't get the stroller though the aisles (my daughter is disabled and has to have the stroller). If she would ride in a carrier on my back or she could walk I wouldn't mind taking her. She's pretty calm and cooperative (admittedly that may be because she isn't able to run away and be destructive lol). 8y
