Children's Museum, yet again.

Sydney and I went to the Children's Museum...again. This was, like, the fourth time we've gone and she loves it every time. It was just us girls, since Charles was at school, but we had a lot of fun.



We rearranged the cosmos.



Sydney was a princess for a while...she loves to dress up as a princess.



We played with light. I'm not sure how it works, but the images interact with you...so here she is "catching the bubbles."



Sydney did most of her own make-up.



I did help some.



We checked out the Legos.



And drove a tractor.



Played with some blocks.



And joined the State Patrol.

Coloring Eggs

We colored Easter Eggs today. It was a TON of fun, especially since this year Sydney was really excited about it.



Telling Charles what color to put the egg in.



Helping.





Waiting for the egg to be done.



What will it look like?



"The egg is ready!"



As you can tell by her red cheeks, it was rather warm in our apartment today.



Drying eggs.

I Say This All Too Often

Please have patience with me...I've been slacking off in the blogging department. I'll try and be better this next month. It should be easy as Charles has finals coming up and will be gone studying a lot here really soon.

Strategic Air and Space Museum

Sydney and I went to the Strategic Air and Space Museum with the Cub Scouts today. This month's theme has been Take Flight and we've had a lot of fun trying out different ways to make things fly. The museum visit was the equivalent of Pack Meeting this month and we had a lot of fun checking out the airplanes and learning about Leonardo DaVinci.

Training module...the only one she could go in

Spring Break--Lincoln Children's Museum--Picture Heavy

Sydney loves to come here. This time, we came on a Thursday morning and it was lovely. We got to check EVERYTHING out without too much competition from other kids. It was quite fun.








Much to Charles' chagrin, all they have is a Nebraska helmet. We'd all much prefer a BYU one.

Spring Break--Mormon Island

We went out to Mormon Island to try to see the cranes that migrate through Nebraska in the spring. Sadly, we couldn't see them up close...probably because it was noon and they were out eating. But we did see some fly over head and we got to have some fun running around outside and building a fire (so maybe that was Charles).



Can you tell what kind of bird this is?



It's a Bald Eagle! He was WAY up there, so it's kinda crappy, but it was still cool to see one.



Some cranes flying overhead.



Running outside...it was finally warming up to around 45 degrees!

Nice Warm Day.

It was a balmy 39 degrees today, so we went for a walk.





There was some snowball throwing.



This is the restaurant parking lot down the street from us. Still lots of snow to melt.



But it is finally, maybe, starting to look like Spring could come.



That makes for a pretty nice outing.

The Bunny in the Church

So Sydney went with Valerie to Scouts tonight while I went to my oral argument practice for moot court next week. I came by about half way through Scouts and attempted to entertain Sydney in the church. After a few minutes of walking around we stopped at large mirror in one of the foyers. Sydney was sitting on my shoulders. I asked Sydney what she saw and she said, "A Sydney!" I said, "What else?" She replied, "Papa!". I asked, "What else do you see?". She responded, "A bunny way up top on the ceiling. Oh wait is it coming down now!". Then she pointed down the hallway and said, "It go that way Papa! Faster! Get it! Get it!."

We circled around the whole church with her pointing down hall after hall telling me, "Faster Papa! Get Him!". Finally we ended up at one of the exits. She chanted, "Bunny go outside, Get him Papa!" I told her it was too cold outside and that we were not going to go outside. She looked at me and said, "You are crazy Papa! It is not cold outside it is warm!" I did not follow the imaginary bunny outside, but it was okay because I evidently managed to coax him back inside and give him to Sydney. He jumped back down and we spent a few more minutes catching him inside until Valerie was done.

Pot holder hook?

Oh what a creative girl we have.
