We went to the Children’s Museum this morning.
$30 for me, The Bella and Goobie. We’d never been and I thought to myself while signing the credit card receipt: “Ooohhh, this had better be worth it.” It was.
They performed ‘Hey Jude‘ to the tune of ‘Mary had a Little Lamb‘ on the karaoke stage and worked with mixing primary colors in the science lab. They swabbed the deck in the pirate ship and raced trains. We created glittery collages and hid rubber dinosaurs in the rice box to freak out the next unsuspecting children. Hehe.
We made bird feeders. One of them consisted of cookies, raisins, cheerios and Cracklin’ Oat Bran on a string. Goobie ate more herself than she left for the birds. The other one was a Peanut Butter and bird seed covered pine cone. That one was mine, I ended up doing all of the work while they licked organic peanut butter off of the knife.
In our living room, instead of a wall facing the front yard there’s a set of picture windows from floor to ceiling. I placed their artwork there for the neighbors to ‘ooo’ and ‘ahh’ over because, you know, my toddlers are such awesome artists.
I hung the bird feeders in the front yard. We have yet to see one flippin’ wing flap out there. Ungrateful bastards. We worked hard on those things, and not for our own benefit, but for theirs. It’s really not that damn cold.

@suchsimplepleasures:
Thank you. :) I used to like haiku when I was in school, but I’m no poet, and I’m never any good at them. *lol*
@leendaluu:
Yesssss….yummy, eh?
Sounds like $30 well spent. I’m officially on a budget as of January 1-so I’m very aware of where all my money goes-and I’d hate to waste it on a lame outing!
@Jill – we need to budget, because we always end up needlessly broke. *lol*
