Book Fair!

Alex's school is having a book fair this week.  The last time they had a book fair I sent money to school with Alex and he came home telling me all about the book fair and showed me the books and other things he had bought.  When he came home with the letter about the book fair this time I decided that it might be fun to take Logan and Caison and let them each pick out a book. They were both excited about it. We walked into the office to sign in as school guests and Logan told everyone in the office that he was going to the book fair. They commented on how great it was that he was excited about books and a book fair. I signed us in and we walked down the hall to the library.  We walked in and Logan said, "Wow!  Look at all the books!"  They had set up shelves all around the center of the library that were covered in books that the children could purchase.  They also had tables set up with pens, stickers, book marks, puzzles, and anything else you could imagine.  Logan and Caison immediately began looking at the books.  They would grab a book and say "I want this one" and then suddenly place it back on the shelf and grab another book, "No, I want this one!" This went on for about fifteen minutes until they were both satisfied with the book they had picked.  We then moved on to the "goody" table.  Caison pulled out a fish pen and said, "Look, Logan!" One of the women in the library said, "If you squeeze his head his eyes pop out."  I squeezed the pen and the eyes on the fish popped out.  Logan and Caison both started giggling.  Logan found a fish that looked like Nemo, but eventually put it back and took the shark instead.  Caison grabbed about five different pens before deciding on one that had two different colors--one at each end.  Once they were happy with their item we walked over to the cash register and paid for them.  The boys said "thank you" and we headed back to the office to sign out.  Logan ran into the office and shouted, "Look at what I got at the book fair!"  (We have been going to this school for over 2 years for Alex's speech, so everyone knows Alex and Logan.)  The ladies in the office all acted excited and wanted Logan and Caison to show their books to them. It was our first trip to the book fair, but it was a big hit and I have a feeling we will be going to many more!
