On Presidents Day the Whitaker Center was free to the public. We started the day with some Chucky Cheese and then went on to the Whitaker Center. My neighbor and I must have been feeling a little crazy - we took the other neighbors with us - that is equivalent to 5 extra kids. The 10 of us had a ball. The museum had tons to do that was hands on. It didn't hurt that there were a bunch of college kids there with booths handing out candy if you tried what they were doing. We made silly putty, learned about dung beetles (nice), made a light go on with batteries, built a little thing with marshmallows and sticks, saw human organs etc... By the end of the day I was sooooo tired - the things we do for our kids. They of course wanted to stay longer but I was pooped. Jacob and Spencer loved being with their friends. Jacob's favorite part was the human body - organs, bones etc.. He obviously takes after his daddy. Spencer's favorite part was frosties at Wendy's when it was all over. He obviously takes after me.
This picture is just to show that child labor does have benefits. Look at his attention to detail. He also thought that it was a HUGE treat for him to help - plus he got to do it in his dunt-da-dunts (underwear). Jacob had a turn too, but I didn't pull the camera out in time. It also didn't cost a thing - their reward was they got to play in the bath afterwards.

Hooray for a newsy new post. That science place sounds awesome. And hooray for more time as a complete fam. And don't you know that painting isn't work? I love the reward... a bath. You're the best.
Yeah, that wasn't Q... it was really me. So embarrassing. ;)
