Princess/ Prince Storytime

The kids and I visited the library today for a special storytime and craft. There were soooo many prncesses, but Alex was the only boy that was dressed up. Sabrina took a very long time coloring her crown, she was the last one to finish.





The kids got to pose with our lovely Princess Librarian.





They also got to go on stage and pose for more pictures.

Game night

A couple of nights ago we had a game night.



Our first game was S'Match, which is a memory game. It's played like a traditional Memory game, but with a spinner that tells you what to match; colors, numbers, or catergory. Sabrina enjoyed it, but didn't like taking turns.





Our second game was Alphabet Scoop. We tried to include Sabrina, but that didn't last long. She eventually went to watch a video.




Our last game was triominos. It didn't take long, (half a game) to realize that it was a little too hard for Alex. We switched to the kid version. He enjoyed it until he lost.


At the end of game time we had two grouchy kids. Alex got a lecture about being a good sport and I learned that we need to have game night more often. These kids need it!

Today was the first time we have been to the children's museum in about a year. The kids had a great time.
 
 
 
 
The kids got to hear a story and experiment with colors.
 
 
Sabrina's favortie part was the dress up clothes and the stage.
 
 
 
 
Alex's favorite part was the science section.

Coloring book drive



Today Alex dropped off 50 coloring books and 50 boxes of crayons to Sunrise Children's Hospital.
Thank you to all who helped him achieve this goal.
If you still want to help he is now collecting for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
