The Children's Museum, Again!

Mena said, "I want a heart and a butterfly."

Maggie said, "I do it by myself!"

Maggie beat me at tic-tac-toe!  (I had to tell her where to put her third piece to win; she wanted to put it in a different box and would have lost.)

Mena lost interest before her building got very tall and Maggie lost interest before she put more than a couple blocks together.  They enjoy the dramatic play areas more so than the block area.

Mena climbed in the big chair, but Maggie was too scared and ran off to another play area.

Lots of water play!

Maggie sorted her frogs into their "houses."

Driving in the semi-truck is lots of fun!

Mena didn't spend as much time as she has in the past in this tree house.  She's showing more interest in the other areas and broadening her horizons!

Mena was driving the ambulance and Maggie rode with me in the back.  I was the patient.

After arriving at the hospital, Mena took care of a baby and Maggie took care of me.  Maggie put her stethoscope in her ears and pressed the piece to my chest.  As she put her stethoscope away, she said, "I'm sorry that you don't have a heart."

The pet store was a hit today.

Walking their dogs proved quite difficult!!

Maggie helped me find the letters to spell her name.  She arranged them from right to left so I showed her that we have to write left to right.  Luckily, she didn't fight me too much when I corrected her direction.

In the big chair and in the little chair and back to the big chair!

A proud mommy moment when Maggie played Connect Four and then declared she needed to pick up her pieces and put them in the bucket! 

We might want to start on the third floor next time.  The girls enjoy the airplanes but they got hungry for lunch so they didn't play in this area long.

We went to Amigos for lunch and then to Hobby Town for some new toys.  Mena's showing an interest in reading a clock so I found a wooden clock and I found some foam shoes so I can teach the girls how to tie a shoe.  We also picked out a kite since it was such a windy day.  After coming home we went to the playground.  By the time I got the kite up in the air, the girls had lost interest and were playing on the playground.  I got my tablet out and sat on a bench to read a book while the girls played.  I told them I wanted a little break and they did just great giving me a few minutes to relax!
