Library Fun

On Wednesday mornings in the summer, you can get free tickets to a show at the local library. They start handing out tickets at 10 so you need to get there by about 9:40 to get in line. Today is "Reptile Man" and it is a really popular show so we got there nice & early, planning to get tickets to the 11 am show. It was SOOOO cold! The boys were both whining so much that we just waited for the ticket lady and requested seven tickets for the seven pm show. This way we wouldn't have to wait outside for an hour and a half while the boys whined. I am pretty sure that this would have made me a grumpy mama!

So, we invited Erin, Mason, and Uncle Vince, though I'm not sure they'll go. Check back tomorrow for pics of gross, slimy things. ;o)

(gross slimy things being the reptiles...not the invited family members! Tee hee.)

We went to play in the library for a while after we got our tickets. There is a neato Discovery Room that alternates displays. This time it is all about getting creative. There were intruments, costumes, crayons, building blocks, moon sand, and different colored lenses to teach what happens when you mix colors. Fun stuff. The boys were entertained for a good hour and it only cost a buck for the parking meter!

The phone booths are just out in the regular part of the library and they are always what Keaton looks forward to most. There are two "old fashioned" phone booths in the same room, and you can talk to each other phone-to-phone. Keats had fun talking with some other boys and asking their names. When Sullivan took his turn he kept yelling (yes..yelling in the library) "My name is Jack! My name is Jack!" Lol.
