Field Trip Tuesday!

L's preschool had a field trip today to a local youth museum. We went as a family. What fun! There was a Jim Hensen exhibit and a Berenstain Bears exhibit. Both kids had a ball playing with all the interactive things. This was such an educational yet thrilling place for both age groups. Then Mommy had a dr. appt to check things out again. Actually just another u/s. Everything looks great! Baby had a strong heartbeat. We are on track for a 10/24 due date. That is the birthday of my honorary goddaughter. What are the chances of this?!!? But because I will have scheduled c-section, we'll go 2 weeks early to deliver. Hopefully anyway :-)

Typical Tuesday

L went on her first field trip with her preschool class! Daddy stayed home with S while Mommy and L trekked up to Petco for a (amazingly) fun time at the "Furs to Feathers" demonstration. L got to touch a bearded dragon, a couple of turtles, see some fish, check out a Pongo twin, get passed over to touch a guinea pig (later got to feel the guinea all by herself!) and then play with a ferret. Petco does a great job tailoring the program to the age group so this was about a half hour of hands-on entertainment. I think we are going to try this with our mom's group!

We came home to a potty training S and Daddy, both ready for some lunch. I got S's birthday booked while Daddy handled lunch duty. Then it was naptime for the curmudgeons while Mommy spent time cleaning - yep, cleaning! I am trying to get better about the daily cleaning... trying for 1-2 rooms a day. Also another New Year's resolution is to spend more time physically playing with the kids. So L & I spent about an hour doing playdoh while S napped. She enjoyed it and you know what? So did I!
