The Bubble Lady & A Sizzling Day at the Park

All I can say is...

she's real.

And the fact that The Bubble Lady visits the library free

for their Summer Reading Program is a total steal! 

The bubbles did not disappoint...

...though, granted, some were less impressed than others.

But you have to admit...

...for the most part,

this is pretty impressive.

There's only one way to top the Bubble Lady, and that is...

...no, not pretzels...

...the PARK!



Judging from the red cheeks,

it was a very, very warm day!

But there are lots of smiles too so it was worth it!

Artists in the House!

During the month of February our local library showcased our schools artwork created through the Art Docent Program.

  

As luck would have it, Ava & Bella's artwork was featured up 

HIGH!

  

Thank goodness for daddy's who are 6'2"!

  

Looking good Bella!

  

  XOXO,

Mom

Mother Goose on the Loose

What's got Owen's attention?

And Gabriel's too?

Of course!
It's the Roseville Library Summer Reading Club event:

Mother Goose on the Loose

We enjoyed fun songs, and-oh wait!
What's this?
They give you...

STICKS???
(Can you tell this was a hit with my 2-year old?)

I can only guess what he's thinking:
Music instrument or weapon?

Thankfully he chose the former, not the latter, and enjoyed banging away with the best of them!

Later, after dropping off our library books in the car and suffering a major meltdown in the parking lot (Owen-not me), we returned for the free craft activity. While the kids colored trees and affixed popcorn "leaves" with glue dots, I caught up with some of my former library co-workers. What fun!

Free programs at your local library?

PRICELESS!

Ballet Storytime

We've been long overdue in getting ourselves to the library for a free summer program, and when I checked the schedule I was excited to see that the Placer Theater Ballet Company was giving a story time at Roseville's Downtown Library.

I started getting ready at 7:30 in the morning to ensure we'd get to the 10:30 AM show on-time! I'm notorious for being late and didn't want to miss this! Luckily, everything went smoothly and the kids nabbed some front row seats.

I'm so glad we made the effort because the story time was magical! The girls were breathtaking in their Nutcracker costumes and the stories were wonderful!

Afterwards they taught us the 5 positions of ballet, and even demonstrated ballet en pointe!

Though they were gracious enough to pose for a photo, Owen was not! He hung to the side adamantly refusing to get anywhere near the dancers!

Before we left the girls accepted the invitation to touch the costumes.

They were in awe!

And so was I!
