Thanksgiving 2016

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! The only bad part was that I forgot to charge the camera battery so I took most of these with my phone, and they didn't come out that well!

Playing baseball with a snowball and stick!

Reagan's broken arm didn't slow her down at all.

Willow has a ponytail now!

Crafts with Nana

beast scavenger hunt

Over the weekend the kids saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, then they did a related scavenger hunt the next day at the Natural History Museum.

The "werewolf" was in this room.

Jane said the museum was "boring."

They found a few more things in the Peabody Museum before we left.

After stopping at Penzeys Spices in Arlington, we went to Otto Pizza for lunch. It was good! Malcolm wasn't interested in the cauliflower and mushroom pizza so he had pepperoni.

The kids and I had fun bowling the other day!

Leonardo!

We saw a great Leonardo da Vinci exhibit at the science museum over the weekend!

day in the city

The kids get a few random days off in November, so last week we went to the Children's Museum. We saw some cool things on our walk from the train to the museum!

They love this three-story climbing structure! I'm glad they're older now, I was so terrified when they first tried this!

Jane at age 5!

They had fun racing to see who could pull themselves up the fastest. I think they raced twice and took turns winning!

I like how Malcolm gave his shadow a face and crown.

They were really excited to find these two pianos!

We had a delicious lunch at Flour. We gobbled up dessert before I had a chance to photograph it.

They made some huge bubbles!

Malcolm has always loved the airplane.

Five years ago!

The keva block exhibit was really cool!

Malcolm was inspired to use his at home afterwards.

We stopped in the art room and the kids did animal pictures.

They always enjoy building a house!

We had never been in the Japanese house before. It was really cool. It's a real 100-year-old house from Japan, with some updates. Malcolm thought the bathtub was neat.

Almost time to go...

Happy with their gift shop purchases...
