Little Hoot

On Friday Nate and I had a family date. We have started doing those to take advantage of our unique work schedule. We get off work at 11:30 on Friday, so we have an extra afternoon to ourselves. We may not have this schedule for long, so we are trying to make the most of it. So our excursion this Friday took us the the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens in Claremont. We had lunch at a great restaurant in the downtown area. While browsing through stores there, we found this store full of wonderful things: Paper products, unique children's items, soaps and bath stuff, handmade bags and other treasures. One of my favorite children's book finds was this one called Little Hoot. I love the illustrations, and I love the story. I wanted to buy it, but have too many children's books already. I'll have to think about it. But it looks like a very fun book. I also like it because Jacob started whistling the other day and the little owl sort of reminds me of the way he looks when he whistles.
