Catching Up, Part II: Take Your Daughters to Work Day (Unofficial)

On Friday, February 15, the girls did not have school (public school teachers had an in-service day), but Susan did (private school teachers conducted business as usual). Susan's principal gave her permission to bring them to work that day, so she did--"to work" as both a location ("to" = preposition, "work" = place noun) and an activity ("to work" = infinitive verb). Child labor laws be damned!

They enjoyed helping Susan process new books: attaching spine labels, due date forms, and bar codes and stamping the books with the library's name. They got to interact with the high school kids throughout the day when they helped Trinity students check out books and when they joined Mommy for dinner at noon in the school cafeteria. They even had an afternoon treat: watching a movie (Underdog) in the dark and quiet of Mommy's office, complete with popcorn from the concessions stand downstairs!

Suzanna using an official library pen (the fake flower attached to it helps students who borrow it to remember to return it afterward)

Abigail eyeing the supplies used to attach labels to incoming books being added to the library's collection

Hillary doing some sort of official library-related task (ignore the pink and blue flower purse that probably stored some age-appropriate activities to keep her entertained throughout the day)
