Playing Catch-up!

Last week was crazy! My mom had some health problems so Monday through Thursday were mostly spent with a house full of extra people, very little sleep and a lot of time at the hospital. She's home now and things are back to normal around here so I thought I'd catch up on my blogging. Friday we went back to the art museum because M is in love with the place and would spend every day there if at all possible. We took our Friend A with us and the girls had so much fun. We went with a group of friends and we left almost a full hour after everyone else. The girls made some excellent pictures by spreading clay.

They took a few minutes to pose for a couple pictures. 

M made a flower, clouds, a clown cow and a sun on hers. They had to spread the clay to make the background too and I was really impressed with how well the girls did. They didn't need hardly any help and their pictures turned out wonderfully.

Jack mostly made balls from the clay. He mixed the colors together and made some dinosaurs eggs. He was patient and did really well so I certainly didn't mind that he was being a boy. The teacher got out some puppets and things for him to play with while he waited for the girls and he didn't seem to mind that we were there forever. (Notice the JD shirt again. I swear he owns other clothes!)

Then we went to the park for a while. We went to McDonalds first to get some lunch and the kids did some eating and some playing.

They love this new park. They can both climb all the way to the top of the big web and they think they're pretty cool.

Friday night we went to a baseball game. M had to stay home with grandma because of all the peanuts so it was just us and J. It was a friend's birthday party and J didn't care much about the game but he loved the nachos and pretzels. 

We had to bribe him to sit still long enough for these pictures. As long as he had food in his hand he was fine. 

Today a friend and I went out and had lunch, did some shopping and got a pedicure. It was fantastic! I'm not sure there is anything that compares to having freshly pedicured feet. It feel so nice!

Now it's time to start another busy week. It all starts bright and early tomorrow morning when we head to the Y for a workout and swim lessons. M has 1 more week of lessons and then J starts. There's never a dull moment around here!
