Library Fair

Last weekend was the Summer Reading kickoff at the F'ville Library. I wanted to go and sign the kids up for the Listener Program and check it out since we've never been there --we usually go to the kids library close to our house.

It was so fun!! They had all different types of activities for them to do. Each one had a card and as they completed an activity they got their card stamped then at the end they traded in their cards for a prize.....paints for Madeleine and a windsock for Harrison. So Fun!! They had jugglers, a magic show, musicians/instruments the kids could play, crafts, balloon shapes, face painting and more!

Here they are making bag puppets. Harrison's looked like a picasso work of art and Madeleine made a cute kitty.


Then it was on to arm painting. Madeleine wanted a unicorn and waited so patiently in line for it! I was really impressed with how nicely she waited her turn.

The finished project. Later that day she asked me if the unicorn on her arm made her special. How precious is that!!! (And, of course, I told her she was already and always special).
This is where Harrison stayed after the first event. They had the mascot from the Naturals there and Harrison was SCARED TO DEATH of him! He kept asking where "brown" was and looking for him. I can't say that I blame him....that guy is a little creepy looking (think the "cavemen" on TV).

Madeleine waiting in line yet again. This time for a balloon.
Ahhhh. Finally. She chose a flower.

And Harrison chose a "halt" (sword) although it hard to tell from this angle. He was too busy waving it around to stop for a picture. :)
Harrison did pose with the dragon. Still holding the Halt.

Finally we ended with the magic show. Madeleine was pretty captivated by this and I loved watching her face. She even landed a spot in the NWA Times last sunday!!
