Peanut Butter and Jammin’ – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

This morning we took the kids to a Peanut Butter and Jam Session.  If you are local and have small children (geared towards 2-6 year olds) you should check it out.  Stella had a blast listening to the music and seeing the instruments up close.  Charlotte enjoyed the cookies afterwards!
