Yes, I'm griping. (edited)

I wrote this whole post about how disappointing the summer reading program was here, but I decided it wasn't worth it. Aimee, you guys do great work. I know it's a lot of time and effort, but considering it's kind of a backwoodsy library system, it's amazing! Here, we got squat as far as summer reading goes.

One thing that I must write about that continues to crack me up and make me shake my head at the same time... Upon signing up for summer reading, we had to tell them the kids' ages. So of course when you get the summer reading tee shirt at the end, it's enormous because they "ran out of smalls". Seriously, how big does your IQ need to be in order to plan this ahead?

Enid is extremely proud of the free book (yes, only one) that she got to pick out (Amazing Grace).  She hung her certificate on her closet door, and she kept telling everyone she "read" 62 books.

Oh, and I have a quote from a bumper sticker I'd like to share. "Some things are meant to be. Me caring what you think isn't one of them."

**ETA**  Apparently 2200 children signed up for summer reading, but only about 600 actually completed it.  It's a sad, sad world we live in.
