Helpful Mom

Ahh you gotta love spring break, or perhaps you dread it.  Either way you have a whole week to play with your children all day every day…  And if your town is like ours that means the typical children’s museum or science center will be packed to the gills with every other desperate to get out of the house mom.  So I have learned to avoid the obvious hot spots during school vacation days at all costs.  So in this vein I found quite a number of free programs at various local libraries.  So one day we went to a puppet show in the morning and a Fancy Nancy tea party in the afternoon, another day there was a clown show, and another day we took in a magic act.  All of which our two girls enjoyed with enthusiam.  And best of all after the show ends we hang out around the library for 1/2- 2hrs and the girls love that I’ll let them “buy” any book they want.  And while they play I get to read my magazine or read them the occasional book.  So all around it’s fun for all and the price can’t be beat.
