Holiday fun...

Whenever we go to Indy, the kids beg to go to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It is such an awesome place (although I noticed that after a couple hours most parents had a glazed look in their eye...including yours truly). We spent a lot of time in Egypt, because they have a new "Fly to Egypt" exhibit and the boy is into Egypt. I think he would prefer mummies, but it was neat to learn about contemporary Egypt, too:
"Oh, she sailed away on a bright and sunny day, on the back of a croc-o-dile..."

"I have a theory that hieroglyphics are just an ancient comic strip about a character named Sphinxy." (Can you name that movie?)

Wearing Egyptian clothing for a sebou, a ceremony celebrating a new baby.

M3 also tried the climbing wall.

And we all geeked out over the Star Wars paraphernalia they have...real props from the movies!! (Even if they are from the newer movies...ack.)

Oh Children's Museum of Indy...we'll be back!!

Snow day number III...

Another snow day! The kids are happily building a fort in the living room, so I'll take this opportunity to post a few more Christmas pics:

Christmas morning. The kids only got up about 5 a.m.

Retro Christmas.

Chef Mark.

M4 and his buddy S sledding in Indy.

All tuckered out!
