Barnes and Noble Story Time

Did you know that the Sugarhouse Barnes and Noble has a free story time every Tuesday and Friday? Well they do. It is at 11:00 am and so great! First we got our wiggles out with a great book, then she read a story all about Vikings, they got a Viking craft, treat and coloring page. the best part is that it was all free!

Way excited to make a craft.
The snack was Danish cookies.
The craft they made was a "troll knot." I guess these are big in Denmark. The storyteller thinks they really were to keep trolls away. One of the boys broke theirs and Palmer said "oh no the trolls can get you now!"

They each got to color a Viking ship.
Barnes and Noble has a Thomas train table that they boys loved and played on for about 30 minutes! Ours is in storage so Hunter hasn't ever played with a train table. He especially loved it.
We found these great books in the bargain book section. Each one has great pictures and teaches about a specific thing. There were airplanes, sea animals, safari animals, dinosaurs and our personal favorite, puppies. They are $6-7 which i think is a bargain! We decided that we will get one each week and learn about something different. They boys loved reading about puppies and learned a lot.
I also found these cute books that I used to love when I was young. I was reading it and I realized how much each of the things "Miss Bossy" said sounded like me. I don't think of it as bossy, I think of it as being a mom.

Good night, Em, your energy amazes me! I love a good bargain on a book-have you discovered the book section at the DI? Kallie and I have a heyday there!
