Getting Sleepy In The Library

The Bayport-Blue Point Library has bedtime storytimes. I have done this for the past few summers with my kids and they love it. It really does not make them sleepy, but it is something to do that is fun and they get to see their friends.

There are only two bedtime storytimes left. Friday August 14th and 21st at 7pm. It is recommended for children between 2-6 years old. Bring your favorite stuffed animal - pajamas are optional. =)

Reading The Summer Away

Did you sign your kids up for The Bayport-Blue Point Library Summer Reading Club yet? There is still time. My children have been a part of the reading club since they were a year old. Yes - one years old! They did not read then, but you read books to them. There are different levels for age groups. Once you have read six books, you bring your list back to the library and you get a prize. At the end of the reading club in mid-August, there is a big party. My kids have tons of fun at this party. There is all the usual kid stuff that they love - games, music, bouncers, etc. The best part - it's all free. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of the library. =)

Fresh Air And Movies

This info was in Newsday last month and I cut it out, but have not gone yet. The Brookhaven Amphitheater at Bald Hill in Farmingville shows movies outside on their lawn on Wednesday nights. It costs $5 per carload. The movies are popular kid's movies that were all out in the past year - like "Kung Fu Panda" and "Hotel For Dogs". I would imagine that you bring a blanket, snacks and bug spray. The movies start at 8:15pm - once it gets dark. In the next few weeks, I am going to try to take the kids there. Here is the web address to check out the schedule. =)

Spelling Errors With Craig

Have you ever looked for a job on Craig's List? There are some interesting one, like you could be a beer pong referee! I have been looking for work on Craig's List - not as a referee. Just be careful because I am finding out that there are a lot of "scam" job out there. Most you can tell right away - like "we are looking for 20 qualified people" - to do what - who knows? But others look real and when I email them, they respond and you can tell it is something that I don't want to do.

Yesterday I got an email back from an ad. It was for a freelance writer, to write articles for blogs (which I have been doing for the past two years - if anyone wants to hire me?). In this email telling me about the job there were so many misspellings, that I just had to laugh. I did not reply back to it.
