On Saturday, Chris and I took the kids (all except Brandon, who was at Fort Dix this past weekend) to Borders Books for Story time. Before the story was read, each child received a pair of rabbit ears to wear - Trevor and Joshua declined the offer, and Elli carried her ears.
(I am going to apologize here for the quality of these pictures, they were taken with my cell phone : / )
It wasn't too long after Story time began that Jason and Reagan were left to enjoy Story time with Mommy and Elli....
It wasn't too long after that, that Elli got up and began to explore the area around us....
After the story was read, each child was given a paper plate, some crayons, some tape, a straw, and some streamers, and they were instructed on how to make their own kite to wave....
With all the kites made, the children enjoyed strawberry smoothies and cookies, supplied by Starbucks....
(I think this was the best part;))
I love Jason's face in this picture...
After snack time, it was time to parade around Borders, waving their kites, and wishing everyone a Happy Springtacular (I am guessing Happy Easter is a politically incorrect phrase to use at Borders?)....
Chris had fun running from aisle to aisle cheering the twins on ~ at the end of the parade, Jason's cheeks were as red as the parade leader's sweater....
After the parade, Story time was officially over, and each child was then given a coloring book and a packet of tomato seeds to plant at home....
The twins had a blast!!! Thanks Borders!!!
