Hello hello! Yesterday we headed to the museum. It was a very nice day out, and I wanted to go to the zoo, but Brooke insisted on the museum, and we got pretty lucky! It was girls and science day at the museum, so there were free things for the girls to collect and booths to go see various things. A bunch of it was geared towards older girls, but we still found a lot of fun things to do in addition to the normal sights and sounds. Brooke really enjoyed the "trick or treating" from table to table!
Rolling back to Monday morning, Winry and I were up first and her koala was feeling sick! Not only did we get out the doctor toys, but she also got out a doctor book they got from the library and followed along! Here she's double checking her stethoscope technique.
On Monday night, I believe, we snuck off to Salvation Army and were lucky enough to find Hi Ho Cherry-O! The girls are always excited for a new game, so Tuesday morning was a game morning!
We were able to make it to the park Tuesday evening and had a wonderful time playing hide and seek. Toward the end, Brooke asked to take a picture of me and Winry, and this is the one she took! I think it looks great!!
Monica's not been feeling the greatest this past week still, and Brooke has promised to be a super helper. Here she is making her own sandwich for lunch! She had a ham and cheese sandwich.
The weather has been pretty warm this past week, so we've been outside a lot. We played in our backyard almost every day! While it's been warm, you may notice that all of the snow hadn't melted. It's all gone now, but it took the whole week. The kids enjoyed the snow. They'd scoop up the snow in their shovels and fill up cups with it and make "ice cream"!
We got a "book box" this past week. Monica decided to try it out and see if she liked it. Included with the book was suckers! So the girls were in heaven! The book is really good too, so it was win win all around.
We had a really serious dance party one night at bed time. Monica requested that Brooke do "all new dance moves" and it was an incredible experience to watch. Winry eventually got into the "lay on the floor and dance" action too!
Saturday morning we headed to the museum. We got there a little after opening, and from the parking lot I immediately knew something was up. While it was pretty crowded, a lot of the tables and stuff for the event were out in the halls between the exhibits, so the exhibits themselves were not that busy. We went around to some booths, mostly those that were less busy. The girls got the opportunity to make their own hard hats! That picture at the start of the blog was from an energy company where we put duplos together to learn about how the power grid works. We even learned how to make chapstick!! All in all it was a great experience, and we got pretty lucky we happened to go (remember, I was pushing for the zoo)!
After a little, Winry was really pushing for going to see the animals. This is definitely the girls favorite thing to do at the museum. Brooke brought her camera so she could get some pictures while we were there even!
We also saw the llamas, and there are little llamas you can sit on in front of their display.
We had fun at the museum. When we got home, Winry went down for a nap and Brooke and I played in the backyard while Monica headed off for a Norwex Party. When Winry woke up I loaded everyone up into the jogging stroller and we headed out for my 11 mile run! I think we all had a great time, and the weather was almost to 70 yesterday, so the weather was very nice. We saw a LOT of people out!
I think that's about all I've got for the past week. I hope everyone is doing wonderfully!
