Octo-Bird Fest- Fall Fun

One of the reasons I love living in a bigger city is all the free or affordable events. I love the events that are geared for family and children the most! :)

This weekend our local art museum had a big event, the Octo-Bir Fest. It is a great event for kids. Majority of the events were free or VERY affordable.

My kids both had fun on a beautiful, sunny, and warm day! The kids got to play some games, do some crafts, look at some of the art in the outside garden, decorate a pumpkin, and my favorite we did a caricature! What do you think of the caricature? :) I love my son's in the picture but me and my daughter look a bit odd. hahaha!

The crafts included a sand art pumpkin which my daughter loved, stamping on some birds, and a ghost. My daughter said her favorite thing was decorating a pumpkin. She decorated her pumpkin with some pipe cleaners, fabric, and marker. :) I will try to get some pictures up of it later. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their fall fun! :)

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear.

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
