I hope you are all enjoying your summer. It seems like we are balancing staying dry with staying cool. We don't seem to have too many of those just right days.
Below are some fun indoor and outdoor ideas:
Don't forget that you can get free museum passes from your local library. Most will not hold them, so be ready to run over if you call in a request. http://www.chipublib.org/ is the Chicago public Library site and you can see who has what along with phone numbers and addresses. We plan on hitting the Science and Industry soon. They have a great new weather exhibit. If you have never been to Peggy Notebart, I suggest that for an awesome experience in nature. They also have the giant butterfly garden where a variety of butterfly species live. It's really cool. The Morton Arboretum is tons of fun. The Children's Garden is a must especially when you get one of those just right days.
Here is a cute idea from another blogger that would go well with any of the above:

Finally, if you know anyone looking for a well established Christ centered school, send them by me! We are having a Preschool and Kindergarten Open House on July 21 6-7:30 pm. Lutheran Unity School West Campus 5650 N Canfield. Although just the 2 teachers will be present, the principal or board members present would be happy to show you around the rest of the 1-8th grade rooms as well as answer any of your questions. There is a lot to offer at this school, so do pass along the info.
I will post pics later this week of the room progress. I am getting very excited about this new adventure. The room along with keeping up with J and S is keeping us quite busy! Until next time... keep enjoying those kids!
