fun

Three more days of fun at the Children's Museum. One day, a few friends met us there. It was fun to have a big crew to walk around with. Although during the Spring Break festivities, it was way too crowded and noisy to really get to chat with my friend, but still fun to be there together.  They waited in line for the trampolines while our kids did a puppet show for them through the bushes and over the fence.

Matix wanted to try out the giant ball again. He loves it.

Lullaby the vet, prefers to wear here stethoscope around her waist like a belt. Love her.

There was also a performance by the Harlem Globe Trotters. It was SO fun. They are veyr talented guys. We love Spring Break at the Children's Museum!

Using the video phones. They will spend an hour here at least. Just talking to each other and making silly faces.  (While posting this I realized that Hawk and Lullaby are wearing the same two shirts as they were wearing the other day we went to the Museum. It was 4 days apart, so they must just be their favorite shirts? I didn't know they wore them that much. :)

I usually don't let the kids go into this 3 story climbing structure when I am by myself at the museum, because a kid (usually Lullaby) will get stuck somewhere in it, and that means that I have to hold Solace AND climb through to get her and lure her back out. Which I have done, and which is not fun.  This particular day, I was alone there with the kids, but I thought I would give it another chance. I told Lullaby to follow Matix. This time, they both got stuck and were frantic to find their way out. Matix can be very dramatic. Finally, after I figured the way out and tried to show Matix (without getting in myself), they got it. It took almost 45 minutes. I was exhausted. They were exhausted.  It was, however, very cute to watch Matix help Lullaby through it. She would get nervous, and he would carry her down the big steps. So sweet.  Hawken, made it down all three flights several times while this whole thing was going on.  So, back to not letting them do this climbing thing when I'm alone. That was 45 minutes of shouting (so they could hear me over the noise) and pointing and waving my arms and being frustrated that I let them do it. It was my own fault. Lesson learned. :)

The cups. Why are these so fun?!  I was nursing Solace, so the pictures I got weren't very good.

Hawken took over the picture taking and got these:

Then Sully was done, so I got a few more pics. They were so proud of the huge towers they made!

Last day. Music light floor, I need this. It lights up and changes color where you stand. Too much fun.

Another light area. These lights turned on and off in random order. The kids made up a game about switching to a new light and trying not to step on a circle that was lit.

There is a face painting area. Usually they want me to do something on them, but this day, they decorated themselves. Lovely.

Riding scooters in Vietnam.

It was a good three days. :)  And Solace was there too. Being a good baby, despite teething (he has his first official tooth. Bottom left!), and not being able to really play yet.  He sits in his stroller, or scoots around on the floor (if that area isn't crazy busy), and watches. He is good at watching.
