Yesterday, a preschool group was supposed to come to the library from their church across the street for a storytime, but, since it was raining, they didn't want to walk over...so I went over there. Not a big deal, but the room we were in wasn't air conditioned! (Think rainy, humid, mid-80s...yuck!). However, we dealt with it and had a good time with this theme of colors!
