Rain Rain Go Away! So much for the Linn County Fair today! No matter - the kids had a great time playing indoors this morning, then after lunch we began our adventuring - by the time we got back to the house, the rain had stopped, though it wasn't warm enough to swim.
Piper & Keigon build a Littlest Pet Village
We didn't make it to Half Price Books with our reading logs last Friday (since everybody was gone for the July 4 weekend) so we took advantage of the rainy weather to get our $3 gift certificates, and redeem them.
Piper got an activity/sticker book with hers, but she really had her eye on a lovely Precious Moments bible cover. It was a dollar too expensive, though, so she settled on her activity book. Then Harrison decided to use his allowance to get her the bible cover as a belated birthday present. She's going to use it to store her beloved crafting items at the daycare this summer.
Keigon parlayed his certificate into TWO Spiderman videos and an Incredible Hulk video - we've got some great shoppers!
We just had time to grab a quick lunch, then headed to Franklin. It was still kind of rainy, so we decided to read in the van with the windows open, to stay dry but get some much-needed fresh air.
We dropped off all the middle school passengers to their respective homes, and dropped Harrison off at Connor's house, then team kindergarten headed to the Hiawatha library for a special craft activity. They made pretend pizza's, complete with pizza boxes and a special gift certificate for a free kids' soda at Godfather's on Blairs Ferry Road.
Keigon thinks his dad will probably eat this pizza accidentally!
Since the pool was closed, Keigon shared his new videos with us and we had a movie party with popcorn and treats when we got home.
