Children’s Museum

Friday afternoons at 3:30 at the Children’s Museum are my favorite. There are usually about 5 kids in the the whole building.

It’s awesome.

No need to remind me how my definition of awesome has changed.

I am aware.

Early 20’s –awesome was $.50 well drinks at the bar and dancing up a storm.

Late 20’s/early 30’s less bar hopping more road trips and redoing the house.

Mid 30’s fancy dinners/Europe/watching movies on Sunday mornings.

and now:

Sleeping until 7 (sweet!) and an empty children’s museum.

I digress.

This past Friday – I convinced Noelle that she and Ben should come with us.

A proper place for both boys….behind bars!

Clearly the young girl running the art center did not have kids. She handed Alec the paint and brush before she got out the paper. Classic mistake. He, of course, painted on the table. And then this sweet lovely girl says- “oh that’s ok…see what we can do”. She takes the paper and presses it to the table and shows him the design.  “Isn’t that cool?” she says.  And then lets him paint on the table more. I was about to jump out of my skin and trying to shoot him the hairy eyeball. He ignored me.

Yep chickie …you just showed my kid how cool it was to paint on tables.

UGH! 

And since Erik and Aaron both work in town- we met up for dinner. 

Alec and Ben were well behaved which for them is just short of miraculous. 

They did end up wrestling under the table while we were still eating.

It wasn’t very crowded and we ignored it. 

We enjoyed out dinner.

And that is awesome these days!
