Sorry it's not in the normal format, but I'm about to rush out of the door and wanted to be sure I got this posted ASAP. All of these events happen on Saturday and it's always recommended to check with your favorite location before going to be sure they're participating.
Saturday 9am-12pm
Home Depot
Make a Rain Gauge
Personally, I haven't had any problems with Ian being able to do these EXCEPT for the Home Depot on 646 & 45, even though he's 3.

11am-12pm
Borders Baybrook
Storytime
When I went in December, they told me they do this every week. I haven't been back since because Ian's not too fond of sitting still for a story, but I'd double check to be sure.

All of these activities are FREE!!!!! During Christmas time, I tried to drag Pre-schooler Newbie around to each and every one of them, but it didn't work out so well. I definitely will be taking him to Home Depot because it's practically right next door to me (in Pearland on 518 & Clear Lake City Blvd). I could walk there if I had to.
Have a fun weekend!
