Kids do the funniest things

Tonight while getting ready for bathtime, Jim and I witnessed a hilarious moment between Nicholas and Alexa.

Nicholas had gotten himself undressed and walking toward the bathroom nudie-patudie.

Alexa was supposed to be getting herself undressed yet was running around playing with a diaper wipe.

As Nicholas ran by Alexa, Alexa reached out to wipe Nicholas' privates, doing a dab-dab-dab motion which resulted in a indignant scream from Nicholas.

Hi.Larry.Us.!!!

Superbowl Wrap Up

Somedays I'm looking for an excuse to host a party. This years Superbowl was a perfect example. Well, it wasn't much of a "party". More so a gathering with a small group of friends and good food (hopefully). Here is how we spent our evening.
Football cupcakes.

Hanging with the crew.

Being goofy.

Running amok.

Laughing.

And just generally having a good time.

Boston Children's Museum

I love our library. The kids do too. We go at least once a week. One of the many things I love about it are the museum passes. Two weekends ago, we got passes for the Boston Children's Museum and would have cost us $42 in admissions fees was only $8.

As soon as we entered the museum we encountered this.

It's a structure made out of floating platforms hung by wires all within a wire net which scales the entire three floors of the museum. One way in and one way out. Nicholas could not wait to get in on the action.

Due to Nicholas's polite disposition and reserved nature, he kept letting all the other kids move ahead of him, leaving Jim and I wondering if we'd have to go in to retrieve him. Thankfully he made it up and out eventually.

After emerging from the rope structure, we hit the construction room playing with toy trucks, and crawling through tunnels for a bit before spending some time in the toddler dedicated playspace.

Here the kids could not get enough of the trains.

From the toddler room we hit Peep and the Big Wide World. Here we explored light and dark, sand and water. Here is Nicholas testing out a light marker.

Alexa the Explorer.

While I think the Children's Museum is more playspace than museum, it was a fun day out. They've recently opened a new Curious George exhibit and Nicholas cannot wait to go back.
