Princess Tea Party

Becca went to a Princess Tea Party this week. It was a program through our Parks and Rec Dept. There were about 10 little girls there all dressed up in princess dresses. They got to make hats, play games, decorate cookies, and play with an (empty) tea set. She had a lot of fun! I think her favorite parts were eating the cookie and dancing on the stage in her princess dress.

Elephant and Piggie

Both Samuel and Becca LOVE the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. This week Elephant and Piggie made a guest appearance at our library so we went to see them. The kids got to have their pictures taken with Elephant and Piggie, hear some Elephant and Piggie stories, and make some puppets. Here are some pictures:

Muncie Children's Museum

Last week the kids and I met some friends at the Muncie Children's Museum. This museum is great! It is a lot smaller than the Indianapolis Children's Museum so it is WAY less crowded (actual quote from the person at the admission desk when we bought our tickets: "We have 4 families here today so it may be kind of crowded."). Samuel's favorite thing there was a real semi-trailer truck that kids can climb in and pretend to drive. Becca's favorite was the area set up as a small town where kids could play in the post office, store, vet, dentist, etc...

Here is a video of Becca playing in the vet's office, a video of Samuel climbing up the ant tunnels, and then some pictures of the kids enjoying other parts of the museum. If you live anywhere near this museum and have young kids, I highly recommend checking it out!
