Creative girl

By the way, I wanted to thank my friend Jenn for making the pretty header for the blog. Doesn't she take fabulous pictures?

What did we just do?

Well, this was sort of unexpected, but we just agreed to buy this house:

I know this is a tiny picture. I'll get a bigger one soon. This house is actually next door to our own. Come visit soon! We'll have plenty of room!

Well, we've been in Indianapolis for an extended visit, seeing as how Nana and Boppa's 50th wedding anniversary was last weekend and Uncle Tim's wedding is this weekend. That's a lot of partyin'! 50 years in pretty darn amazing! Thank you, Aunt Wendy, for being event planner extraordinaire!

In the meantime, the kids and I have done some fun stuff...yesterday six hours at the zoo; today the Children's Museum. Here's some pics:

Is it real?

Or is it sushi M3 carefully fashioned out of Playdough?

Are you a thrill seeker? Or a non-thrill seeker?

On June 8, we dodged thunderstorms and made our way to Adventureland. For those of you who have been to Six Flags, Worlds of Fun, etc., Adventureland is woefully sad in comparison. But it is awesomely fun for small people!! Even those that find the ferris wheel terrifying. So M4 was actually convinced to ride the ferris wheel and the log ride and other rides that looked intimidating to him at first. But I think the teacups were his favorite...maybe the ladybugs.

Of course, M3 went on every roller coaster (including one that goes upside-down) and ride that throws you around in some fashion. I couldn't snap her photo on those since I was usually riding them with her.

Because it was rainy, we didn't have to wait in line for anything, and we didn't get sunburns! AND Adventureland issued us tickets to come back another day for free! As the kids would say, it was a SWEET adventure.
