There is a great statue of Mark Twain in front of the library. I wanted to get Saul's picture with it, but for some reason he was terrified of the statue. The only way he would get near it is if I was holding him, and then he would only clutch my arm with one hand, and bang on Mr. Twain's head with the other. I have to admit, it did make a very satisfying bang.
I made a chicken hotchpotch last night, which was quite yummy and kind of neat looking. This has got to be the easiest, most satisfying recipe on earth. You simply layer sliced potatoes, chicken, bacon, onions, carrots, and more potatoes in a dutch oven with some thyme and rosemary and salt and pepper. Pour on some stout, brush the top with butter, and bake the crap out of it for a few hours. An extra bonus is that the stout makes it smell like you are baking bread. You gotta love British cookbooks.
I feel like I should have a picture, but I don't. So here is Saul again. As usual.

Don't ya ever wonder why the kiddos react to certain things the way they do. Like what about the statue freaked him out. I often wonder what Noah thinks is just sooo funny all the time.
there could be worse things than being a working mom...like being a stay at home mom who has so much time with her child to do things in the middle of they while the rest of the world is off being productive that you hit EVERY STORY TIME at EVERY LIBRARY with in a 25 mile radius! i am like a serial storytimer.:) (preschool starts in 5 days praise god)
