Our local library has started a mother daughter book club. They hold it ever other month and have a discussion about the book, a craft, and a refreshment--all for free! Emily has been wanting some time alone with Mom lately so we headed to the book club last night even though we weren't able to get the book read because we had just barely gotten it from the library a few days before the meeting.
This month's book was "The Miraculous adventures of Edward Tulane" and from the discussion both Em and I are excited to finish the book. They had felt rabbits that the girls could make clothes for (cut outs from more felt) and they had decorations for the clothes/rabbits too. I failed to take my camera so you won't have the joy of looking at pictures, but Em and I had a great time and we are really looking forward to November when we are reading "The best Christmas Pageant Ever" and we get to make gingerbread houses for the "craft".

Growing up, we had a family tradition of reading 'The Best Christmas Pagent Ever' every year. My dad still can't read it without cracking up! I hope you like it- it really is funny!
Oh, I wish I had a girl... what could be better than a mother daughter book club? Love the hair pulling incident, I laughed out loud about that!
I want our library to do that. How fun!!!
That sounds like a lot of fun. Once we get all moved in and settled we'll have to have you guys over.
Thanks for letting me check out your blog! I love the video of Liam dancing! I can't believe he is a year already. Where does the time go?
That is a fantastic idea! I'm going to check to see if my library has this program.
