Day Off.



I know, I know, excuses, excuses, but it is difficult juggling all this stuff and a blog too!  But it's been too long, and I finally have a day off to putter around at home, and enough said, let's get on with it.

We did have a great visit w/ the 3C's.  Not quite as much visit time as I would have liked, but so it goes when there are little ones around.

We got our visit to the Please Touch Museum, and it is worth every bit of the hype.  It's incredible!  I saw just as big smiles on some of the adults as the kids!  First of all, you have this gorgeous building.  And rather than it being a boring, staid, beautiful yes, but kind of dull kind of place, you enter in, and it's painted in this very whimsical way.  The spots on the wall that look like there should be dull old family portraits hanging there, are filled w/ pictures of kids faces.  And that's just the entry area.  The place has been so well laid out, there's fun stuff to do for toddlers on up to older kids.  I look forward to many trips in the years to come.  Gma Lala got a membership for us to share, so we intend to really take advantage of it.  I can't imagine a more delicious children's museum.  And we haven't even gone on the carousel yet!  (See the link for a sweet story of how it was discovered, as well as some great shots of the museum, as it was being transformed.)

Booboo is currently obsessed with ducks and eggs.  Luckily, the museum was happy to oblige, as everywhere you looked there were eggs and ducks.  She couldn't be more thrilled.

Toddle C, being more mobile and a bit more of an explorer, had a slightly different experience at the museum, but seemed to enjoy it all the same.

Eeeeg!  Eeeeg!

And later at the nursery rhyme corner, you guessed it!  More ducks and eggs!


Booboo looks pretty pleased with her egg collection.


Get me another one, will ya?
