Me: "I don't want you guys bringing all those toys downstairs."
Boy: "They're not toys, they're weapons."

Natural History Museum
We took the kids (and some neighborhood friends) to the Natural History Museum. They love to see the dinosaurs and there is a new whale exhibit- sorry, no photos were allowed in the whale exhibit.




I seriously think that out of all the things that we purchase for the kids, the museum membership is the most worthwhile. It is kind of pricey ($200 for one year), but it allows Michael and I to bring in up to eight additional people. Margaret isn't old enough to count as a spot, so basically we can bring a whole other family with us when we go. It is good for four Pittsburgh-area museums as well as reciprocal museums all over the USA. We have gotten into OMSI several times with this membership, and we are looking forward to using it as we drive across the country this summer. The best part of this is that it provides hours of entertainment, but doesn't take up any space in my house!

Deal of the Week!
This Icecream Science kit was on a super after-Christmas markdown sale, and I got an additional 15% off using my teacher discount card. It was a fun and educational afternoon.


Each of the boys got to create his own kind of icecream. They even got to color the icecream. We had a bright green strawberry flavor, a gray chocolate strawberry, and a blue chocolate. Yuck!

Queen for a day
Henry: "Mama, can I play with your hair?"
Me: "Yes."
Henry: "Mama, how does a queen do her hair?"
Me: "I am not really sure. I think it just fluffs around."
Henry (tossing my hair around): "Fluff, fluff, fluff."
Me: "Yes."

Deal of the week
Patience and bargain hunting really do pay off. The problem is that I rarely have enough patience to be patient. Our pantry was always a mess. Things were thrown together in bins and located in three different locations in our basement. Due to this, we were often buying items that we didn't need, because we couldn't locate items that we knew we had. When I took a bag of items to the thirft store, I decided to have a quick look around. Here is our pantry before:
Here is what I found. A beautiful pantry! This baby cost me only ten dollars!
I can't wait to find the time to fill it up!
