It's official!

museum musings

** WARNING.. THESE PICTURES ARE A JUMBLED MESS. I have re done this post about 5 times now... So this is the way it is staying! Oh and there are like 50 pictures so beware! I warned you! There would be fun commentary but until my children are grown and gone I am commited to BEING A FULL TIME MAID, SERVANT, CLEANER, FRIEND!!!! hahaha... Oh what I wouldn't give for 5 cotton pickin' minutes! (An hour or two really buuuut who's counting!)

We went and bought a membership at the museum close by. It is an amazing place for children to explore and just be! We debated it with the boys being so young if it would even be worth it so we just paid for admission for the morning and when we got done we realized it IS SO WORTH IT! They loved all the discovery rooms and hands on EVERYTHING!






















I am almost convinced that J had more fun than the boys!

The best part is that you can get up to 6 people on your membership in free! The zoo doesn't even do that! We have a zoo membership too so now when the weather is too hot to be outdoors at the zoo we will be touching everything soaking up some learning opportunities at the museum!

Shelter in the Storm

I know you thought it was going to be a spiritual post buuuuut... it's really not!

Where once there was beauty and land there now sits a HUGE EYE SORE CEMENT BOX!

But we will be safe if WHEN a tornado hits. You see we run parallel to a very popular Interstate that tornadoes tend to frequent. We also live in a cardboard box mobile home atop a metal, once movable trailer... and all tornado warnings shout from the television... ABANDON CARDBOARD BOXES!!! MOBILE HOMES!!!

You see the lady who sold us the land with the house on it said that it is “better” than a typical mobile home because it has been “fixed” to the ground. But yeah; I have seen some trees that were pretty fixed to the ground too, BEFORE THEY WERE UPROOTED AND CARRIED OFF SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS!

It doesn't make me feel any better either that when I went outside last night to stand on our little deck that I saw a opossum run and hide under the same spot that we had been planning on using as a “shelter” if WHEN the time came!

So rest assured our whole neighborhood little family will be safe and sheltered from the storm! You know, not that you were worried or anything!
