I know I have a 1001 things to post about, but this was so traumatic, I couldn't hold it off. For the last 6 months or so, Annie (and Ben and Mom and Dad) have fallen in love with Fancy Nancy. These books are very popular. Nancy loves fancy words and french words. (Nancy also happens to be my older sister and my mom speaks French, so you can pull your own meaning from there...)
So, we do not own any Fancy Nancy books yet because they don't come in paperback...WAIT!!! I think I should change that phrase to - we didn't own any Fancy Nancy books until tonight.
See, we love to check them out at the library and have become very faithful library go-ers the last 9 months. BUT I made a tactical error and left Emily calmly looking at library books while I went to make the girls lunch. When I returned it, Fancy Nancy was no longer so fancy. :( I've been DREADING returning to the library and facing the librarian, but I did it tonight! $22 later, we finally own a Fancy Nancy book (and the Posh Puppy) - even if it is missing half the pages!!! The family will be so proud!
However, Annie was very happy to read Fancy Nancy and Bonjour Butterfly tonight after seeing the butterfly exhibit at the zoo today. :)

We have a Fancy Nancy book! The Dunfords gave it to us for Christmas. Very appropriate, I thought. Packing tape works wonders on books, by the way :)
Love you, Your Fancy Nancy
I'll have to keep my eyes open for some more - maybe they have laminated ones??
So true about the packing tape...otherwise we might not have many books at all! We nearly had to buy a book from the library, too. Thankfully we caught the librarian on a good, compassionate day (and I think she thought my tape job was amusing)
