Michaels stores are sponsoring a fun event for Grandparent's Day tomorrow, Aug. 28th from 10am - 2pm.
My calendar shows that Grandparent's day is on Sept. 12th... but I guess it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?
Make the grandparents go gaga by capturing your baby's handprints in Crayola Model Magic. Ages three and up are welcome while supplies last!

The Best Kind of Showers - August 12 & 13
I know I don't ever post events after midnight... After all, my kids are certainly not awake then.
But, this event will certainly knock their socks off and it's definitely worth being awake to see.
The Perseid Meteor Showers are currently lighting up the skies.
Experts predict that the showers will be the strongest on the night of August 12th & August 13th, between midnight and the wee hours of the morning.
Do I recommend that you wake your children up for this event? Absolutely NOT! This is your call and yours alone to make.
But, if you do wake them up to see it, here are some tips to follow:
1) Most importantly, you need a dark sky... so if you live in the city, unless you have a super duper telescope, you may not catch much action.
2) Verify the dates and times.
3) Expect to be outdoors for at least an hour to get a good view.
4) Dress warmly, use binoculars if desired, bring a warm drink and get comfortable.
Other Meteor Shower predictions for this year include:
October 7 & 8, the Draconids
October 21st, the Orionids
November 5th, South Torids
November 12th, North Torids
November 12, Leonids
and December 13 & 14th, Gemenids
Don't ask me where all these names come from; I'm sure there's logic somewhere.

Come back and let us know where you went and what you saw... I can't wait to see these myself!
