We had such an awesome day today!!!
We started out with a mom & me event at the local, new Whole Foods store. I think they're trying to appeal to moms to shop. But, they had a bubbly girl coordinator, who had us meet in their hydroponic herb room; we sang some songs there, and then moved into their cafe to make organic, natural glue and paste tissue onto shamrock paper (along with organic crayons). Iris/Finn/Henri came along, and we had a really good time. We also got Irish soda bread, organic animal crackers, and organic apple juice boxes. And, a mom taught me to flip up the sides of the box ("The Wings") and have kiddies hold that rather than the actual box. This avoids squeezes and juice overflows. Genius!
Then we came home for a good nap.
THEN, we drove into shady (err, up-and-coming) Newark to see SchoolHouse Rocks! at a branch library. They were really fantastic. Iris/Finn/Henri came too, although a bit late. I never got to watch the program as a kid, but I think I would have liked it. Very catchy tunes, and high energy. All our kids were enthralled, much to our surprise, for the full 60+ minutes of the show. Now, getting out of Newark was a trick.
Overall, though, it really was a fantastic day!! Oh, and I got to catch up with Mo in VA for the first time in awhile. :o)
