Thanksgiving 2011

Oh man. 3 3-year olds and 3 dogs equals a crazy party. The only thing that could have made it crazier was a pumpkin roll.

Going Parking

On a beautiful Fall day, we headed to the park with the whole gang, including grandma, Dawson, and Owen. Owen was keen to show off his regained mobility. There were all kinds of dogs and children at the park, so everyone had friends to play with. The girls dont seem to want to give up the baby swings. I assume it is mostly to do with the speed and height they can safely achieve. Later, the girls and their friend Avery gave Owen a fake bath with dirt and leaves. Somehow, he ended up smelling better.

Childrens Museum

The girls love the Childrens Museum. Me, not so much. Mostly because I hate crowds. We arrived soon after opening on Friday, and there were about 100 school buses lined up outside. Im not sure how hanging out in the Barbie exhibit and laughing at your middle school male classmates/teachers dress up as princesses is a learning experience, but Im not an educator. Also, apparently every mother with a toddler/stroller showed up. The highlight for me was sitting inside the replica train car that has videos in the windows that make it look like you are moving. Laurin and I played it up a bit and Riley got confused/scared. All of her logical mind assured her we werent moving, but she couldnt be certain. Sorry for the gaps between posts.
