Home Depot monthly kids DIY workshops are always such a hit. 🧡 I also appreciate that they allow for some creativity and individuality when it comes to the painting- so everyone’s end up looking a little different.

Thanks for a lovely night of magic & mischief DuPage County Historical Museum!! 🎃 🪄🔮

My kids had so much fun at this event last night- it was so fun to explore the museum during the scavenger hunt. And the new exhibit, Cabinet of Curiosities, was pretty neat- highly recommend if you are able to pop in and see it downstairs.

How lucky are we to live in Wheaton and have this amazing history museum in our very own downtown, and who puts together these amazing exhibits and creative events for the community. 💜

Also… zoom in on the face of the volunteer running the trains— how much joy it brought him to see these cute little witches enjoying the model train in their costumes!
