Library Craft Time

We had a busy day today. I had a Dr. appointment in Waco, so we headed off a few minutes after Jason left for work. I had a great appointment, then took the kids to a spray park in Waco. We stayed there for about 45 minutes before I felt like I was about to melt. We met Dad for lunch, went to HEB for some great produce, then headed to Hillsboro for Library time. I just want to say that I LOVE summer library programs. Our local Library finished their program several weeks ago and so we travel up the road to Hillsboro to attend theirs. The only complaint is that it is scheduled for 2:00 in the afternoon and that is smack-dab in the middle of David's regular nap time. So we have to do some serious planning to make it worth it.



We started with paper mosaic.


Then David's attention was wavering.



It is a good thing this kid is cute. He had several sweet ladies at his beck and call.


Jessica LOVED the mosaic art. She was concentrated pretty hard on this for at least 30 minutes.


Cailyn wanted to try a little of everything. . . .on the same page. So creative!


Straw art was fun for a while.


Then it turned into finger/hand art.


Cailyn doesn't like to get as messy as my Jessie.


However, they both LOVED being a bit different than the other children.



OUR FINISHED PRODUCTS:



David's fish


Jessica's Butterfly and Bird


Cailyn's Butterfly


and her Peace Sign(she LOVES peace signs)

Our next destination: a dinner picnic at the pool.


*note: we would already be there, but we are waiting for my insane husband to finish running in this 110 degree temperature.

Can we say CRAZY!!!!!

They did such a great job!! Seeing David do a craft gives me hope that I can start doing them with Grace soon too. I think she would love it (but I need to figure out how to keep the mess to a minimum!). Our story time is closed right now too, and I can't wait for it to start up again! What a fun, busy day!
