Day off from work means bookshopping

So, today is my day off from work because I worked the weekend. Usually, I am off the Friday before and the Monday after. Consequently, I would pick up some overtime on Thursdays and Sundays. After last night's 16 hour shift, I dropped off the kiddos to their summer school, went back home, picked up where I left off from my 24 ( the TV show) marathon. I finally reached sleepdom at 10AM. My sleep was rudely interrupted by the alarm to go pick up the kids at 12PM. I went back to sleep till about 330pm and since I promised them we would go swimming, I had to drag my half sleep self to the pool. They were happy, so I guess that makes up for my lack of sleep. Usually, on my days off, either we eat out or I cook a really big Filipino meal. We ate out. Hahhhahaah! Then, off to book shopping. I really wanted to go to the store to buy the case for Paddy ( iPad's official name in my household.) Well, you know what happens when you say you going to get that only, you pick up some absurb and really useless things then you realize the credit card bill is up to your neck.

Anyways, our monthly book shopping resulted to this.

This book is supposedly good. It must be, she is reading it now.

I need not explain this. But to those who are uninitiated to Pherry, he is really a bookworm and likes watching Discovery, History and National Geographic channels.

Here is Josh and Pherry with their Wimpy books. The movie diary should be the last "accesory" book.  KC has the DIY book but of course, Josh has to write his own Wimpy story, right? I got them the whole series in hard bound books because they love it. Besides, the author is from Massachussetts and Pherry's 3rd grade teacher actually knows him!

Here is today's stash.

I live in a tiny condo. But believe me when I tell you, my tiny place is about to be run over by Legos and books. Wait, maybe trampled by those huge dinosaur robots.

I really do not mind spending money on books. In fact, I love it when my kids would rather buy books than when I tell them to grab some clothes. I am a voracious reader myself, so I know the feeling of reading a good book. Hopefully, they will continue to explore new worlds and learn new cultures to gain a better understanding of the world we live in, or simply to enjoy a beautiful story.
