You can see her missing tooth here.
This was also the first day of morning kindergarten. So far Jane really likes it, and so do I. Now we have more time to do fun things in the afternoon.
It snowed that afternoon, so after lunch the kids played outside. (Too bad the snow is already melted again!)
There was an activity set up. People could write or draw about what they'd like robots to do for them. Jane sort of copied someone else's drawing, but she came up with the idea of a robot who could carry her.
Afterwards we ate at the Middle East restaurant and the kids loved the pita bread!
We visited the same museum two years ago, don't the kids look so much older?
Malcolm and Ben were approaching each other on the balance beam.
They didn't know what to do in the middle!
Anyway, she always picks a care bear each time so she came home and made a tower of them!
There was a collage project that the young kids finished quickly and the older kids took a long time finishing. I was impressed with how long they worked on them.
Then we looked at some art. The kids decided which floors to go to, not really caring what was on them.
They always like to sit here on the way to lunch!
On the way home we watched these geese cross the street using the crosswalk!
Our friend Nicole was very kind to drive us all in her bigger vehicle so we saved on gas, parking and tolls. Jacob and Jane wrote secret messages to each other on the doodle pro in the back!
We went to the arcade afterwards.
Later in the week we tried out a golf course. They had a lot of fun!
We went back the next day. It was much sunnier and our friend Eliana was with us.
The kids love pressing the buttons to see different landmarks and towns light up. They like to find the northernmost light as well as the southern.
Jane always learns about birds in this part of the museum!
This is where you "make your own museum."
Jane created a dinosaur and sea thing museum.
Malcolm made a Green Lantern museum.
Look at the tiny turtle!
Jane found some books to read...
... and Malcolm was interested in this skeleton.
They wanted to see how many nanometers tall they were.
After lunch we went to a Sesame Street planetarium show. They played with Daddy's phone while we waited in line. (The kids liked the show but the parents wished it had taught a few more things, like constellations and planets.)
Daddy showed them how the Omni Theater projector worked.
We visited the mammoth and mastodon exhibit. Malcolm loves this big guy!
They're in front of a pygmy mammoth.
In this section Malcolm wanted to see different versions of hearts. He's been interested in the human heart lately.
Here he is feeling his pulse.
Jane created this self-portrait with chains on a magnetic board.
One of the last places we visited was the pirate and shipwreck exhibit.
We stayed for a long time and enjoyed ourselves. And we never went into the kids' section which is usually crowded, so Nate and I were glad about that!
