Making Mother's Day Presents At The Villa Park Library

Last week the Villa Park Library hosted a Mother's Day gift making workshop for kids. Little Bear, Rafael and I went and checked it out. It was pretty cool! The kids put together little coupon books with offers to do chores, give hugs, etc. They also got to decorate gift bags. The gift bags were nice, because I had had the kids make picture frames the day before, so we could also put the picture frames into the bags!

Here are the kids working hard on their bags.

They worked very hard, but apparently exhausted their capacity for good behavior. By the time I snapped this last pic of them with their finished bag, they were being monsters!

Rafael is looking aggravated at having to stand still for another moment!

At any rate, it was a very nice event, and the kids were proud of the gifts they had made! Thanks to the Villa Park Library children's department!

Pictures From Touch-A-Truck

I don't know if any of you went to the Touch A Truck event in Glen Ellyn this past weekend, but if you did, you may have seen Little Bear, Pufferfish and I there! We had a great time sitting in all of the different trucks! If you missed this one, a similar event will be hosted by the York Park District (near Lombard) on May 22! (Let me know if you know of any other Touch A Truck events going on around DuPage!)

Check out these pics of Little Bear and Pufferfish!

Pufferfish looks tinier than usual sitting in a truck tire!

It was a great little event, the weather was gorgeous, and a wonderful time was had by all!
