Today in my little mailbox at preschool I was given a flyer for Scholastic books. I don't know if they are having a book fair but it was the exact thing that we used to get in elementary school when we had a book fair.
I went home at lunch and perused it for good deals or just great books in general. I had the best time looking through it with much the same excitement that I did in elementary school. I loved book fair day! (Except for the time that a book called 'Megan the Klutz' was popular and everyone called me that, but I digress...)
Way back when, Mom would give us a dollar limit of how much we could spend and I struggled with deciding which book to get. But here's the thing: I'm a big girl now and I can buy whatever I damn well please! Yea for the book fair and new books! Just as long as none of them are called 'Ella the Klutz'.

Hmmm... I wonder if you'll be setting a dollar limit for Ella?????
once in 1st grade my mother sent me to a book fair with a blank check. i had no concept of money at the time, so this was a big mistake. i picked out so many books that the book fair lady called my mom to make sure - i think they thought i stole the check!! in the end i think my mom let me buy all the books because she thought it was hilarious. but i also am pretty sure she never made that mistake again.
