Story Time

We have some awesome free community activities.
One of them is Storytime at Three Little Monkeys. But it's not just story time. They pick a theme and read books relating to the theme and then there is a craft that goes with the theme. The kids get to sit at short little tables on tiny chairs and use markers,crayons,and glue with occasional other craft accessories to create art. It's fun!

Library Movies

I love checking out DVD's from the library.
*it's free
*you can keep them for 2 weeks
*sometimes you're pleasantly surprised at how good a "this might be okay" movie really is, and it makes you want to check out other similar movies :)
Some good ones we've had lately:
Carrie's War
The Journey of Natty Gann
Jane Eyre
Love Comes Softly series (for girls and pioneer lovers like me)

Let's Be Like These Boys!

This story is by President Hinckley. It makes me want to look for opportunities like these boys had. We can make such a difference to someone else by doing small, thoughtful things!
