I've discovered a number of books that I had never heard of before such as "Katy No-Pocket which quickly became a favorite with my childcare boys when I got it from the library.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I've used inter-library loan, they ask if and what I'm willing to pay if the place they get it from charges to loan the book. Apparently it's quite rare that you would have to pay for this service but it does happen on occasion. It's always been free for me!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129793790973176351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-6594371780651021342009-04-08T18:20:00.000-04:002009-04-08T18:20:00.000-04:00so cute!! :) I love all of these ideas!so cute!! :) I love all of these ideas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-30230815760186811232009-04-08T17:15:00.000-04:002009-04-08T17:15:00.000-04:00I agree with all those who said they enjoy these p...I agree with all those who said they enjoy these posts. I have 2 littles just a bit behind your girls. Someone gave me a copy of FIAR, and I flipped through it, but didn't plan on doing it. Your posts help me see what good things your kids are learning. I love how the four year old is being inspired to help in real life! I personally would enjoy seeing these posts every week again!Bessershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506906779856272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-1936006929364909402009-04-08T17:10:00.000-04:002009-04-08T17:10:00.000-04:00Monica~I love your Family Fun night posts and your...Monica~<BR/><BR/>I love your Family Fun night posts and your BFIAR posts - they keep me coming back.<BR/><BR/>Just one teeny request though...when you list the title of the book, could you include the author too? I know you include the link and maybe I'm lazy but I leave my library page open all the time so I can just click and reserve (I've never heard of a consortium (sp?) that charges! What a misfortune!). my library had 7-8 books with the title The Red Carpet.

This is just one reader's opinion, but posts like this are not boring at all! I actually end up bookmarking a lot of your family activity posts, saving them for when my kiddos are big enough for projects/activities like these!<BR/><BR/>What neat activities in this post - are these all in BFIAR? If so, I think it's worth the investment...maybe I will ask for that as a Mother's Day present :)MamaDuck76https://www.blogger.com/profile/07369935777865369677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-59076682680014371782009-04-08T14:21:00.000-04:002009-04-08T14:21:00.000-04:00Jen,This is our first year - so we started in the ...Jen,<BR/><BR/>This is our first year - so we started in the fall of 2008.

I did not buy a single one though.<BR/><BR/>I got all I could from our library and asked friends for any they had (got two that way) - the rest I requested through Inter-Library Loan.<BR/><BR/>At my library this service is free, but I know some libraries charge.

You have great ideas and I am sure there are ladies out there that will benefit from them. My kids are teens now, but I love reading about how you are homeschooling your kids. <BR/>We loved to read bunches too when we homeschooled. There is nothing more fun than making a book come to life for the kids.
