Today we stopped by the library to participate in drop in craft day.  We had been to the library yesterday to return books and movies and get new books and movies and noticed that drop in craft day was scheduled for the next day, so back we went today!  I am so glad that we went back today.  The girls had such a blast, and as a result we were at the library way longer than we had planned to be.  The theme of the summer reading program is One World, Many Books and as such everything has revolved around maps, flags and different countries.  The girls have adored learning about the different countries and so today's drop in craft day was totally up their alley!

There would be even more pictures had my camera not died right after this picture was taken.  We had such a great time completeing each craft and learning a little more about which country it was from.  It truly was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Someone made this large box into a planetarium.  
Inside it's been painted black and there are glow in the dark stars. 
What a fabulous idea!








We arrived and discovered we had the library to ourselves.  What a treat!  We got to chat with Mrs. Kim and the girls found all sorts of wonderful books to look at and chose ome to bring home.  Em headed right to the planetarium box, and Grace settled in with a few good books and the snuggily giant moose.  Story hour started a little bit later (todays theme was food) and Mrs. Kim read four books to the children and then had a wonderful activity prepared for them.  They got to glue pictures of food into a menu she had made for each child.  So simple but so much fun!  Of course, no trip to the library is complete without handstamps.  Grace is sporting new princess handstamps on both hands, and Emma chose a star.  

I think we are going to make Wednesday story hour part of our weekly doings.  

Enjoy the rest of this glorious day, dear ones. 
We'll see you tomorrow.
