Grab And Go Kid's Planner, May 4th
With Mother's Day on the horizon, Patch provides you with some ideas on how to spend time with the kid, whether you're called mother, mom or mommy.
This week's installment of the Grab And Go calender features a few things that Mom would love.
(Ahem, for those who have forgotten Sunday is Mother's Day. This is a perfect excuse to slip out of the house and get creative)
We love you, Mom:

When/Where: 11 a.m., Wednesday at the Tacoma Art Museum.
Why Go: A trip to the museum is not always looked forward to by the youngest members of our families, not usually having developed a sense of art appreciation quite yet. Story time with Leroy is a good excuse to visit the current exhibit, while the stories being shared are related to the work you'll be viewing.
Price: Free with museum admission.
When/Where: Time varies from location to location, at your local Home Depot store!
Why Go: Home Depot's first Saturday workshop conveniently falls the day before Mother's Day. So that makes you super last-minute folks in luck.
Price: Free.
When/Where: 4 p.m. - 5 p.m., Wednesday at the Parkland/Spanaway Library and 2 p.m. - 3 p.m., Saturday at the Graham Pierce County Library.
Why Go: Kids in the 3rd through the 5th grade pair in teams to solve science and engineering challenges that have been featured on the PBS series. Hands-on fun and uses their noodles.
Price: Free (must register for the event).
When/Where: 6:30 p.m. - 10-30 p.m., Friday at Java and Clay Cafe in Gig Harbor.
Why Go: Dads, kids, remember how much you love that special lady in your life, give Mom some quiet time and decorate her some special in this Dad and Me ceramics night. Choose a piece you think Mom would love and beautify away!
Price: $20 (for Dad and one child, each addtl. child is $8), price does not include ceramic chosen. Reservation required.
South Sound Walk to Cure Diabetes
When/Where: 7:30 a.m. - noon, Saturday beginning at the University of Washington Tacoma campus.

Price: Free to register.
