BINGO with a Chance of Meatballs...

The new library program for Fall is based on the BINGO game. Each child signs up and gets a BINGO card with different activities to complete (based on age range). After you get a BINGO you can show the card and get a new book, but you can also keep playing and for every BINGO you get  you are entered to win a bigger prize. 

Sunday allowed us to have some serious progress on the BINGO board. We were able to cross off: 

* Go to a different library location than you normally visit 


* Attend a library program 
The location we picked was offering a dinosaur based theme - they read a couple of books, showed pictures of some fossils and then let the kids make their own fossils.  


* Read a Caldecott Award Book 


* Read Goodnight Moon


and then... 


*Watch a movie based on a book 


Perfect timing because Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs just came out...I of course had to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner afterward.... 

Before the movie there was a preview reminder of Where the Wild Things Are coming out in October and I am super excited about this movie.  a) because it looks to be done well and b) I just can't help but like a movie right out of the gate that plays one of my ALL TIME favorite songs.. Wake Up by Arcade Fire - love love love this song.
