Right before Aspen's birthday at the end of July, Kev and I hit up DI for lots and lots and lots of books. I was thrilled to find an entire collection of Sesame Street books that I remember from my own childhood. They're in fantastic condition, and only faintly could I smell someone's attic when I opened a volume.

Aspen really loves these books, which is surprising. They're a little disjointed when it comes to a storyline and instead are like magazines; they feature snippets of continuing stories, they offer up some of Cookie Monster's recipes, and they also just have photographs of muppets. Regardless of the intended audience, a faithful reader has been found in Aspen.

Each copy was only 50 cents, so I'm extremely thankful I found them at DI. It's so nice to grow a library without spending a lot of money.
