Story Hour

Back to the library this week to collect our prize, check out more books, and attend story hour.

Little Bo Peep's lost sheep

Maddie waiting in line to do the limbo....she turned around when she got close and wouldn't do it. Ty wouldn't do it either, but Brax did it!

After an eventful story hour (Ty was "all done" with it after 10 minutes and Maddie kept escaping and running through the halls) we went to McDonald's to get our free ice cream cones. I used both Ty and Maddie's coupons because I thought the ice cream cones would be tiny. They weren't, but we ended up needed them both since Maddie fell down and crushed hers! Then they had to share.

Brax enjoyed his cone too!

Story Hour

As teachers, Chris and I know the importance of reading. We read to Maddie and Ty constantly. However, lately it seems that we are reading "at" them and not "to" them. They are usually running away from us or shutting the book as we try to read. So to help with this problem, I thought the two of them should be involved with the Summer Reading program at the library. Aunt Tracey and I took Ty, Maddie, Carson, and Logan to the Lebanon library for Story Hour. It started out nicely. All four sat quietly during the numerous stories and three songs. Then it was craft time. Logan and Carson made wonderful paper plate fish. Ty and Maddie made fish as well. Maddie wanted to eat the markers (and did) while Ty wanted to eat the stickers (and did). At the end of the hour, I was sprinting to the car and ready to head home. I am not sure when our next visit to the library will occur.
