We’ve all awakened chipper and ready to roll from our science museum outing. Well, not sure about T…when we got home last night he was invited to a church function with a friend. Then he was invited to spend the night. So he’s still across the street, awake or asleep, but under someone else’s care. J is up and rarin’ to go; after the museum he and Henry took the ice cream cart out for the first 2010 whirl. He’s so pumped today that he’s cleaning the kitchen and offered to make pancakes. The other three are playing “Willie the Whale.” G had gotten into our bed in the middle of the night; he popped into his room, where S and TE greeted him this morning with, “Hi, G, we are playing Willie the Whale and you can be the girl.” God bless the youngest sibling. They bear so much!
I’m just going to post the pics (slideshow feature is malfunctioning) of the science museum. The highlights are:
We went to the observation deck and looked out on the (still flooded) Mississippi River.
The boys enjoyed a puppet show about polar bear life and wanted a pic with the polar bear.
We walked to Cossetta’s for a yummy pizza lunch. The dining conversation included TE expertly arguing that it is harder to kill a cheetah than other big cats. Miss V and I concurred and ordered the other boys to stop telling him he’s wrong. Hopefully that’s over.
Floor puzzles and fish scales rounded out the day.
Today (Thursday) will be outside play, gardening, outside play, ice cream sales, outside play, and probably playing outside a little bit. Storm clouds should roll in tomorrow and the inside rain day will be welcome since they will have played outside so much (can you hear my diabolical plan?).
