Playing at the Museum

Our local museums offer a free day once in awhile, but I've never been able to go. Isaac always has our car at work or at school on those days.

But Isaac's on summer break right now. So this was my one chance to go to the free day at the museum. Ha!

We spent a lot of time in an area that's supposed to be for families, but it's really for kids. The rest of us...watched Little Boy play. And play and play and play.

My lovely sister, Kaylyn, came along. Hi, sister!

And so did my brother Thane, who was at home for a couple weeks from BYU. Oh, and Isaac. But he always tags along.

Once Little Boy was done, we went to see some other cool stuff. Cool stuff that I don't have pictures of. Sorry.

So my free-day-at-the-museum dreams came true. It wasn't even crowded. Check and see if your local museum has free days--free fun is the best kind of fun.

Someone Always Cares

Something to Think About

I finally saw the last Harry Potter movie this week.

So, since I'm way behind on photos AND it's the weekend so I'm feeling extra lazy, here's a thought from Dumbledore in lieu of an actual post:

Did You Know Popcorn Is a Whole Grain?

Yup. Popcorn is a whole grain.

So I'm making popcorn trail mix today (just google "popcorn trail mix" and you'll get tons of hits).

But please, for the love of real food, do not make this:

and pretend that you're eating something healthy. If you must microwave your popcorn, google "microwave popcorn in a paper bag" for instructions on how to pop real popcorn in your microwave.

You're welcome.

Something to Make You Smile...

Go be awesome! Happy weekend!

A Boy and His...Python.

Little Boy has a brand-new stuffed snake. And he loves it.

My parents went on vacation last month and brought it back for him. [Actually, my weirdo brother picked it out.] [Hi, Thane!]

Anyway, the snake is...long. And it's probably the strangest animal I've ever seen a child sleep with.
