America celebrates July 4 as Independence Day because it was on July 4, 1776, that members of the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. Following its adoption, the Declaration was read to the public in various American cities. Whenever they heard it, patriots erupted in cheers and celebrations. In 1777, Philadelphians remembered the 4th of July. Bells were rung, guns fired, candles lighted, and firecrackers set off. However, while the War of Independence dragged on, July 4 celebrations were modest at best. When the war ended in 1783, July 4 became a holiday in some places. In Boston, it replaced the date of the Boston Massacre, March 5, as the major patriotic holiday. Speeches, military events, parades, and fireworks marked the day. In 1941, Congress declared July 4 a federal holiday. Over time, various other summertime activities also came to be associated with the Fourth of July, including historical pageants, picnics, baseball games, watermelon-eating contests, and trips to the beach. Common foods include hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, apple pie, cole slaw, and sometimes clam bakes. May 15, 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed into law the Agricultural Act that established the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 4th of July parade on North Main Street, Los Angeles, 1871.

These Star Wars would you rather questions are perfect for any Star Wars fan to choose which scenario they like best! Fun questions for Star Wars fans of all ages!
Me and Morgan rocking some awesome star wars head gear! Last Friday was May 4th...STAR WARS DAY! Last year at the library we did a book display for Star Wars day and it was so popular and I thought that'd make a great program! So let me take you through what the kiddies did! I welcomed then into the room, while the Star Wars soundtrack was playing. (which stopped working during the program ugh!) Then we played a game of "Jedi Says". Its pretty much Simon says, but with fun things like - do the jedi mind trick, walk like C3PO, breath like Darth Vader and so on. Then I asked them some trivia questions. I tried not to make it too hard but they got all of them! Then it was time to split them up and go to each of the stations that I set up: Yoda Ears & Princess Leia Hair, Light Sabers, Dark Side Battle & The Cantina. Yoda Ears & Princess Leia Hair While looking for craft ideas I did an image search of Star Wars stuff for some inspiration and it hit me! Yoda Ears! I took some green oak tag and made an ear shape, it was folded to face out then stapled them to an oak tag strap. I also put out some crayons for the kids to decorate their ears. I also wanted to factor in the girls that would sign up so I cut out some brown circles, decorated it then stabled it to the strap. Light Sabers I came across this craft on Family.com. I used their light saber template and collected tons upon tons of paper towel tubes. The kids decorated the templates then taped them to the paper towel tube. We then took a piece of construction paper, rolled it up then taped it to light saber. The kids had serious fun with this some kids even made double light sabers! I would recommend to use a heavy card stock and not construction paper. It just isn't that durable and the kids wanted to do some serious light saber dueling. So I had to deal with broken light sabers all afternoon. A few times the kids got crazy with the light sabers so I told kids to meditate like Jedi's. Dark Side Battle I printed out some pictures of Star Wars baddies on card stock. I taped them up to stand up then gave the kids some rubber bands to flick at the bad guys. The Cantina One thing that is needed for any successful kids program is food! Luckily I already had the Star Wars cookie cutters from William Sonoma. So the night before I baked those bad boys up. I also made some royal icing in different colors, the kids then got to decorate their cookies. I also wanted to accommodate kids that have food allergies, so I gave them a pretzel rod which they could decorate with frosting, to make a 'light saber'. They were also given some Yoda Soda. It is just seltzer and lime sherbert. And it was really good! It was sooo much work but worth it. The kids had a great time and kept asking when we were going to have this program again. This will most likely turn into a May 4th tradition. Also a very special thanks to Morgan Brett who helped me with the program! She is also took these great pictures!

We've definitely been feeling a little frazzled here between the hot and humid weather, a sick toddler, and several days cooped up in the house. Luckily, kicking off our dinosaur week is proving to be a great distraction. Dinosaur books are something I've been collecting for a while now, so we officially kicked off the week by reading several different dinosaur books. Later this week we'll be creating a dinosaur bone excavation, and while I had planned on creating the bones, I realized it would be much more fun to get Big Brother involved. Homemade Dinosaur Bones These homemade dinosaur bones were easy to make and are proving to have more than one way to use them. First I made up a batch of basic salt dough. Mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup water and stir until almost fully mixed. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Before we got to work we reread Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones by Byron Barton. With bold, colorful illustrations and simple descriptions the book tells how scientists find, dig, move, and reassemble dinosaur bones. We also looked through a handful of other books for a few ideas of what dinosaur bones might look like. We did not plan on creating bones with a specific dinosaur in mind (although with older kids this would be a really fun challenge.) Instead we worked on creating the pieces we were interested in. Even Daddy got involved on this project and worked on creating a few pieces. Our pieces ranged from claws and teeth, to backbones, and more. Big Brother even got excited about creating some dinosaur eggs. We filled one large cookie tray with bones and another small one. We then baked the pieces in a 250 degree fahrenheit oven for about 3 hours. When they were done baking we let them cool on the pan. We then carefully collected them into a container. I intended that we would set the bones aside to use later in the week, but Big Brother had other ideas. He quickly took the box and started using the bones as building materials. He worked to create different dinosaur skeletons for quite a while. Inventive and unique building play!
