Chronicles of Summertime: Day 6

I will start with some things we did over the weekend. We went to the library's Summer Reading Program Kick-off. Snugglepuppy had lots of fun and met Maisy and made Maisy ears to wear. He made a sand castle and saw a magic show. He also got his face painted and a tattoo!




We also went to COSI, our local children's science museum. Snugglepuppy played in the water area and saw the Mythbuster's exhibit for daddy's birthday.



I actually did a post about this water area at COSI earlier and here is a list of things kids can learn here:

We stopped by the Art Festival that was going on downtown near COSI and had a look around and a bite of food. It was a fun weekend!

Day 6:
Today was another RAINY lazy day. We didn't do too much in the morning. Snugglepuppy played with his castle he made at the library using playdough and cars. He built a road for his cars with it. Then, after cleaning that up, we started reading some library books for the summer reading program. He liked the 3 Little Pigs and helped the wolf (he calls it a dog) blow down the houses. Then we read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. As an extension, we watched the Youtube video of Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes.



And lastly, we made the fruit and yogurt parfait from Snugglepuppy's Highlights High Five Magazine.

Smashing the raspberries (we changed the recipe a little).

The final product.

Digging in!

Storytime Sunday: Pete the Cat

If you have ever read either of the Pete the Cat books to your kids you will know these books rock and kids love them!



The librarian that comes in once a month had read I Love My White Shoes to the kids last year, so I decided to check them both out from the library this year for our pets study. My kids won't put it down. They love to sing along and the story is easy to tell by looking at the pictures. Even some of the kids who never want to look at a book are trying to get to the rug first to get these books! They are completely amazing.

Eric Litwin (Mr. Eric) has a great website with a page full of links including blog postings and Youtube videos. Here is a Youtube video of a live reading of I Love My White Shoes.


Happy Reading!
