Fun Day, Boring Pictures

Today's field trip was a visit to the Nebraska History Museum. The parking garage was unusually full, so we ended up on the top level. That doesn't happen much, so we took a couple of minutes to look at the view before heading downstairs.

Here is a (not) exciting view of our destination.

And here is the street below the garage.

Just because I was curious how my camera's panoramic mode worked, I took a couple of these.

Yeah, the pictures are pretty boring. "Why," you might ask, "didn't you take pictures of CHILDREN, or the things INSIDE the museum, or even better, CHILDREN with things INSIDE the museum?!" I have a simple answer. I was with those children. My hands were much too busy with them to hold a camera. But it was certainly a great morning. Esther loved all the headdresses, beaded clothes, and military uniforms. William had a blast finding guns and spears that were bigger than him. Alex found everything with wings and/or wheels. Charlotte was twisting around to see so much that I gave in and put her forward facing in the babybjorn.

Breakfast

Why eat with just one spoon when you can get twice the goodness with two?!

Oh - and the rag. Alex is obsessed with cleaning up his little spills during breakfast. If only he cared as much about his big spills...

Art Time

Wednesday is a favorite around here because it is ART DAY!

To be honest - Esther is constantly drawing, coloring, cutting, or in other ways creating. But we usually have official art projects on Wednesdays. Today was playing around with pastels.

William REALLY liked blowing off the dust.

Short Sleeves!

It's the middle of January, but I think Mother Nature missed the memo.

Yes, Will is teaching Alex how to climb a fence. And Esther is trying to set up a zip-line. You should have seen the hang glider/swing/death trap they came up with. When they came inside they were tired, filthy, and happy.

How to Avoid Bedtime

My kids know exactly what to do to convince me that they don't need to go to bed just yet.

The Game Is On!

Spiderman vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Who will win?

Pile Up

Charlotte had a fun surprise when she woke up from her nap on Daddy!
