Book Store Day

Friday morning my living room was transformed into a book store, complete with a cafe, cash registers, a shopping cart, and bags.







Set up was rather time consuming taking 2 hours to organize the books. I enlisted Hubs and the minis help on this one. As you can tell, Matt was thrilled about it.

The long set up was well worth it for a day of end of winter entertainment.




 The dolls were laying on the pillow reading books too.

 The cat enjoyed the extra shelves around to lay on.

 Half way through the day, we read the book "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" and watched the movie. Whenever we read the book, we talk about how everyone has a bad day, but to have a good attitude about things. The movie was super cute and we all really enjoyed it.


The kids love doing these theme days, however they're way easier to do big ones like Book Store Day outside (check out one we did last summer: http://ashlen-kidspert.blogspot.com/2014/07/pasta-play-day.html). Clean up took a while too because the books were EVERYWHERE.

We're looking forward to summer when we can do our theme days outside!
