The kids celebrated St. Patrick's Day last Friday which is really just an excuse for me to dress them in coordinating green. :) Tuttle and Maggie started the day with green milk for breakfast. Jacob was not sure about the whole holiday!
Maggie and I had been looking forward to Saturday morning for weeks. We met Grandmommy, Aunt Peach, and Peach's best friend at a bridal shop to search for Aunt Peach's gown for the big day in September. Maggie was in heaven with all the sequins, ruffles, and jewels. We did not find the perfect design, so now we have an excuse to go shopping again soon!
Maggie and I drove home after the bridal appointment to pick up the boys for a fun afternoon with Gram. We explored the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville. I had been eager to visit the museum for a while, and the exhibits were a huge hit for everyone!
The kids' room offered many different hands-on experiments including a screaming booth to measure volume compared to other animals. What child would turn down an excuse to scream as loud as possible inside? Tuttle's recent science unit on magnets in school was brought to life at Tellus. He loved using magnets to move bars of iron with a toy construction vehicle.
The absolute highlight of the museum was the mining and fossil room. All three kids were completely entertained for almost an hour. Tuttle and Maggie both left with a small bag of gems and real fossils of shark teeth. Jacob carried the paintbrush to sweep away the rocks all over the room and met many new friends.
Thank you, Gram, for another memorable monthly activity!
Spring has sprung, and we are taking advantage of every second outside. Sunday we walked/biked to Kaleidoscope for lunch. Jay and I were so proud of Tuttle and Maggie for successfully and happily biking the three mile round trip. Now our days are spent balancing homework and sports practice with playing at the park, riding in the wagon to pick up Tuttle, and playing soccer in the front yard.
Jacob is the happiest (and least destructive!) when we are outside. Plus what is more adorable than tiny baby legs and chubby feet in sandals? :)
Happy Spring!
