We went to story time at the Ballpark today. They have it once a month, but we only go every other month, if that. It is quite an undertaking: packing the lunch, remembering the 2 for 1 coupon, getting there on time all the while coaching the kids on behaving and listening.
The storyteller, Ms. Anna, is very patient and encourages the kids to talk and answer her questions about baseball. Cooper and Natalie did great... Luke, well, we need some more practice on attending story times. That boy just can't sit still! Thank goodness there was a place for him to run around without bothering anyone or being out of my sight. After the story, the kids all do a craft. Crafts. Have I ranted about crafts before? I guess I missed the class in college (Kid's Crafts 101?) that taught you how to glue stuff together perfectly, tie things in perfect knots, wrap things tightly, manipulate glue sticks, etc. Crafts can make me feel so i
nept as a mother. Trying to make a Curious George out of foam, pipe cleaners and a glue stick was quite a challenge today. Especially when all three children are positive they do not need any of my help, but scream when it falls into 9 pieces... here's the finished product:
After that, we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the Home Run Porch!
