More Vaccation Adventures- Part two

Hello everyone I am back...sorry to keep you in suspense for so long but here is another of our exciting vacation adventures! We started off at the Children's Museum in Richmond VA where the kids had a BLAST! It was small but packed full of fun for the little one's.

M was all over the place from the dinosaur's to the craft area and back she just loved running around trying everything....her favorite part.....ummmm I'm not sure I couldn't catch up with her!

L loved the water play area. We couldn't get her away from the water and the few seconds that we did drag her away she would run right back to it as soon as she could slip away from us. But then again L is our little fish always yelling for "waaaer, waaaer, waaaer".

As for Baby C well he just went along for the ride...he had fun digging with his dump truck, riding in the car, and playing in the water....what ever mommy would take him to he just smiled away.

After the Children's museum we walked next door to the Science museum where we got to try all sorts of neat experiments. One of the best parts was the astronaut seats: this is where you sit in a seat and try to steer it around like you are on a space shuttle trying to dock. It was great! I helped M while Enana helped L and we all had a good laugh. But I think what the kids loved the best was going to the lab! Here we got to watch how they taught rats how to play basketball...yes you read right no typo here....play BASKETBALL. Afterwards the kids got to pet the rats. Let just say baby C was all smiles with that.

Well that about ends this adventure....stay tuned and soon I will post all about our adventure at the airshow!



Please look above for all of the pictures from this day's vacation adventure!

Summer Fun

Me and My Daddy!

Hello everyone.....I just wanted to write and let you know that DADDY is HOME! We are all so very happy to see him. Mommy has been keeping busy with Daddy now being home. so you are going to have to excuse her for not updating her blog as often as she would like. But soon things will get back to normal and there will be lots of post. Here is a sneak peek at what post are to come (shhh don't let mommy know that I told you!)

Come back and join us to see Big Sis's end of the year preschool performance...we all had a ton of fun watching her and the pup team sing "down by the sea" and "the wheels on the bus". I couldn't stop staring.

There's more to come from the vacation that never ended.....watch out for the pictures of the airshow, the kids museum (now that was fun!), the marine museum and visiting family!

Let the Swapping begin!

EXCITED! EXCITED! EXCITED! Just doesn't begin to describe how much I am looking forward to this new adventure of mine. For those of you who are just as tired of getting the mail on a daily basesas I am due to it's content (yes the never ending junk mail, advertisements and bills, bills, bills) here is a website for you. Here is a place to meet friendly new people and start making you look forward to going to your mail box again without having to spend tons of money! Yes I have tried ordering stuff from on-line to make to actually want to go check my mail....but people the cost is killing me. If I place another order at gymboree I think my husband may just disown me LOL.

So here is the swapping concept. You go to the website and sign up (absolutly free) and then you pick the swaps that you are interested in and join. They have swaps that range from writing letters, to burning music CDS, to sewing, to making ATC (artist trading cards), to you name it. If you don't find a swap that you like you can always start your own! I currently am in 4 different swaps! YEAH! My first to have just begin....my soap sway: I send a bar of my favorite soap to my partener (yes it must be a new bar people!) and my international arm chair traveler: where I write a letter about my home town, which I have also picked up some postcards to send along also. I am so excited! I can't wait to receive my swaps in the mail and make new friends.

So if you are interested in trying out this new adventure of mine please just click on the headline above or head over to my blog buddies and I will add a link there also. One swap I suggest is one called "Any soldier". This is where you pick a soldier who is overseas and you send him/her a care package. To your partner you send a picture of the care package and short letter explaining what you sent or why. This hits close to home for me for those of you who know me. If you would just like to help out our men and women in the military but not join the whole swap thing please visit the website www.anysoldier.com. There you can pick any branch of the military or even a certain group (IE from a certain state, base, or even search for certain key words like: dogs, crafts etc) On this site Military members volunteer to receive packages for a group of people and pass them out to everyone or whoever needs it. You will definitely find me there when ever I get the chance to send out a package!

Well everyone have a good day and start SWAPPING!
