It's been a while

Sorry it's been a while since our last post.  we haven't really had time to get to the computer.  There has been a lot of stuff happening at the library in the evenings.  Occasionally on a Friday - the librarians stay late and invite a whole mess of teenagers into the library after hours.  Needless to say we don't get much done - since no one is suppose to know about us leaving our cages and using the computers.  Obviously this blog lets you know we do that - but we don't want anyone knowing how we do it.  Yup, its our little secret! Plus there have been visitors during the weekend and we've been busy entertaining.  I'm not sure you've meet our friend Ricky - he's a raccoon and he moved in temporarily a couple of weeks ago - for the Holidays.  We've been taking the time to get to know each other.  He does a lot of sleeping during the day so we don't get to chat then - and since we sleep mostly at night we don't get a lot of time to talk.  He's a rather nice fellow though and we've enjoyed our talks.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is coming and kids have been telling us about costumes and candy.  While we don't really understand what candy is (though kids seem very excited by it) - we are beginning to understand costumes.  Last year we saw lots of kids dressed as kings, superheroes, princesses and all kinds of animals.  Did anyone come dressed as a bird though - NO and we were disappointed.  So this year we have our feathers crossed that we'll have a bird costume. 


We have been doing a little reading about Halloween so if you are interested try one of these titles.

Back to School.....back to story time

Miss Renee read us a book yesterday called Back to School Splat.  It was fun, but we were wondering what it meant.  Apparently it means that all the kids we've been following all summer won't be in as often as they have been becasue you'll be going back to school.  We don't know what school is really.  We're told its a place where you learn things, but we do that here so...... Miss Renee says there isn't anything we can do about back to school it's just that time of year.   We're a little sad about that - you guys are fun to watch.  But Miss Renee told us that in a couple of weeks story time will start again - and we'll be able to see all the little kids just like last year.  It may mean we have to retrain them about what we like and don't like but it'll be fun.  Little humans are strange creatures.

Anyway enjoy the rest of your summer - make sure you visit us.  Then have fun going back to school.
