friday

for some unknown reason, fridays used to be the worst days for us, but suddenly they've become one of our best days.  it's always nice to have brooke home on fridays after she spends all day thursday at preschool.  our typical friday morning includes a trip to starbucks and the library.  i'm not sure which the kids love more - the doughnuts or the books.

i love to watch the difference in how brooke and gavin eat their mini doughnuts.  brooke uses her fingers to break off tiny little morsels of the doughnut, while gavin crams his in his mouth as fast as he can.  gavin is usually finished with his doughnut in 60 seconds.  brooke, on the other hand, takes at least 15 minutes to eat one mini doughnut.  she is a slooooow eater no matter what is in front of her.

i also love our time spent at the library.  i love watching the kids select their own books.  sometimes i have to steer them in the right direction, but they do a pretty good job on their own.  brooke is always so excited to carry her own bag full of library books until she realizes how heavy they are, and then mommy gets the privilege :)
