Reason #1,532,874

Just another reason why we love Chicago - you don't have to even be looking to find such a treat. On this day we parked our car to have lunch and found a huge used book store!
After we filled our belly's we wanted to see if the "inside looked as good as the cover". Did you get my joke?!?! We discovered the best used book store we have ever been in...okay so we have only been in a few :) Please be sure to check out their website:
Every Saturday at 11:00am they have Children's Storytime. You can expect a future blog post on this soon! Besides that they are so involved in the community - check out their calendar of events when you need a summer activity.
Lyla loves - loves books! You can imagine her delight when she had "Chamois House" all to herself. She must have brought me 20 books to read!
 Surprisingly we only left with 3 books...all of which Lyla got to pick.
I love you Chicago!

Before our bookstore discovery we had to run to Home Depot. Nothing too exciting to report - just a cute one of Lyla saying "roar" to the Bengal Tiger on her shirt.
And one of daddy being handy! This one just cracked me up - to know Michael is to know this is a hilarious sight!!

You have to promise me you'll take Josie to this bookstore when she stays with you in May. I love that our girls get so excited about books. I'll be sure to leave her with some money so she can pick out some new favorites. :)

(Oh, and just come I'm feeling sassy, Chicago's not the only city with awesome bookstores for kids. It's on next time you're in Cincy. There's one in NKY that has a life-size room from "Goodnight Moon.")
