Whack a Mole, Big Hips and Party Time

Thursday we took the kids to the Children's Museum in downtown Dallas. We only had a few hours that afternoon to explore, but we were really busy the whole time we were there. Jill and Sydney came with us and we all had a lot of fun. The group of us were playing with the bubble exhibit and could not help Sarah get the ping pong ball she really wanted to play with at the wind exhibit. She took matters in to her own hands and got out of the stroller, wheeled the stroller over to the floating ball, crawled up on the stroller to get on top of the exhibit so she could grab the ball. She's pretty independent!!

All of us had fun playing and blowing bubbles.

Playing dress up firemen: Noah and Sydney didn't think the museum was that interesting and slept most of the time we were there. Dressing up in the mock astronaut suit:

Of course with three active boys you can't pass up a nose you can get inside while it pretends to sneeze spraying a mist all over you.

Noah and Sydney had to have a love and bottle/nursing break:

An archeology dig or a big sandbox to get dirty in, however you want to look at it. A big world puzzle everyone put together at the beginning of the museum. Later that weekend Noah was starting to cry. Josh said Noah must be hungry. Jeff asked Josh why didn't he feed him. Josh looked at his CHEST and said, "Because I don't have big hips like Mom." Um, thanks a lot Josh!

Saturday Jeff offered his services as a doctor for mole, lump or bump removal for free. We took him up on the offer and played Whack-A-Mole--Aaron and I got a few taken off down at Jeff's office. I had forgotten how much lidocaine stings--ouch! Thanks Jeff!

Also that weekend G&G M got a bunch of water balloons and we filled them up and had a HUGE water balloon fight with all the kids and Grandpa. All of us got soaked to the bone, but had lots of fun.

Saturday Jill and I had a girl's hour out and went and got pedicures. It was a blissful hour away from all kids and the noises, whines, fighting, and screams that they make. However, after that hour was up we both got a text from Aaron telling us both our babies were very hungry and screaming and that we needed to come home ASAP. Oh sigh, that hour of pampering went by entirely too fast. At least I have some pretty toes now.

Saturday night we had an early birthday party for Sarah since we would be driving home all day on her real birthday. We swam for a while and then got out, had dinner and some cake. Then she opened her presents. She got a princess dress up dress with a matching purse, a stroller and baby, her first barbie, a ball that lights up and some money towards some shoes.

I think she really liked her cake since she smeared it all over her face and clothes.
