Halloween Storytime
Happy Halloween! Have you dipped into the candy stash yet? I have. No shame. Here’s what we sang, read, and made for yesterday’s storytime… The Halloween Storytime Line-Up: Happy Halloween Song (To the tune: “Mary Had A Little Lamb”, Adapted from Perpetual Preschool) Here we come to trick or treat, trick or treat, trick or [...]

Orange is a Warm Color
This October, the warm days have far outweighed the cold. My mom was in town last weekend, so we all went out to enjoy the sunshine at the pumpkin patch. Even though I’ve been preparing LBD’s Halloween costume, as well as Halloween storytime at the library on Sunday, I keep forgetting that Halloween is right [...]

Cluck, Cluck, Who’s There?
Our chicken friend has made a few return appearances since the first encounter. She also has the three of us wishing for one (…or two, or three) chickens of our very own. But since we’re renting our house, having chickens is not in the immediate future. Regardless, Will and I have already been doing our [...]

Pumpkin Storytime
Yesterday’s pumpkin-themed storytime turned out a good crowd! My mom was in town this weekend, so she was able to attend too. The picture above is one of the many documenting a trip to Schaake’s Pumpkin Patch that also occurred over the weekend during her visit. These mini pumpkins were my craft inspiration, which ended [...]

I believe I’ve mentioned before that this is my favorite time of the year, so I will do every fall-time theme imaginable before the kids start to tire of it. “Squirrels”, “Apple Pie”, “Falling Leaves”, and this coming Sunday I’m 98% certain I’ll be reading about “Pumpkins”. [...]

Wild One
An autumn wind roaring threw the hills. Partly cloudy. My daughter, fearless. As ever. On a Sunday, a friend invited us to the barn where she boards her horses, so we packed up our little family and drove 15 minutes outside of town. LBD loved the horses. We knew she would. She wanted to touch [...]

Day with Dad
Last weekend was KU’s homecoming. My non-traditional student of a husband won tickets to the game from the non-traditional student services. I was at work. Will took pictures while I was away. Blue eyes and blue sky. It was a daddy and daughter day.

Apple Pie Storytime
Nothing tastes more like fall than apple pie. I’m pretty sure apple season in Kansas starts in September, but even so apples are autumn-ish and festive for an October afternoon storytime. My pie-wizard-of-a-husband even baked an apple pie for the show, because naturally I believe in tempting children with treats to attend storytime. We had [...]
