Hi everyone -
Today at storytime at the Castle Rock Library, the theme was centered around turkeys, eating and Thanksgiving. The kids and I had a good time listening to stories and singing turkey songs. My favorite story was called "I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie" - basically the same as the story of the lady who swallowed a fly. The kids loved this one!
After nap time we attempted a craft where you make a turkey out of painted fingerprints. This would be great for older kids but I quickly discovered that my one year old struggled with this. So instead we just had fun letting him fingerpaint however he wanted - it was a beautiful looking turkey :)
I hope you all have a great day tomorrow with family and friends. Enjoy the time off!

Parks, crafts and stories
We've had a great week here. The weather has been amazing - almost 70 degrees each day. So the kids and I have had fun being outside at the park, doing fun crafts and playing some new games that I bought. I blogged a while back about some of the old-fashioned games that I had as a child. The ones I recently purchased have been such a blast to play - it took me back to my days of playing with my grandma any time I would visit her. Games like Skip-Bo, Chutes & Ladders, Connect Four... So much fun!
We went to storytime at the Castle Rock Library this past week and had such a great time. It was packed! There was almost no room to sit anywhere - such a good sign that kids and their families are interested in reading, singing and being silly. The theme was hibernation - so most of the books and songs were about bears. The kids had a great time and didn't want to leave right away. So we played in the children's meeting room looking for different objects on the carpets and rugs.
That's about it from this week. Next week we'll be making toilet paper binoculars and placemats. I'm really looking forward to this craft because they'll get to take them home and maybe use them over the holidays! Should be fun.
Okay - have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for reading!
