A new library!

I've been really busy (and lazy) lately so I haven't had time to update but I am back! Rest assured school has NOT been put on the back burner. I am still aggravated with all of my pictures being off the blog but it's time to get over that.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a new library that is just fan-freakin-tastic! I love it! Unfortunately, since it is not in our town, we don't get to borrow books from them unless we pay an annual fee. We do get to take part in any of their events though! So we went to their story time. First of all, the children were all around Jayden's age so he LOVED it. He dislikes story time with preschoolers because they are (understandably) not always quiet and he can not focus on the story being read. This time the kids were all 1st-3rd graders (minus Caitlin) and we had a really great time.

The librarian read stories about planets, space, and aliens. The perspectives of the other children were so interesting. There was a little boy there who must truly be fascinated with the solar system because he was spouting off facts left and right!

Afterward, the kids went to a table in the back and made slime. We have done this activity several times and as always, it was a hit.

The kids then played a game of "Pin the Astronaut on the Spaceship" (just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey) and got candy canes.

We will definitely be visiting this library more frequently!
