What a Friday!

Have you ever had so much on your "to-do" or "to-go" list that you just didn't slow down? The kids and I spent a busy Friday and Saturday trying to do and see as much as possible. We'll start with Friday tonight, and hopefully get to Saturday tomorrow!

We woke up early at Nana and Pop's. From there we drove to get Major's picture made for his 3rd birthday! That is so hard to say! He did a great job. I was a little worried at first; as my mom said he was doing a "pirate grin" at first. He warmed up quickly, and we got some good pictures. Ella Grace was trying hard to make him smile. She could easily get a job as a photographer's assistant!

After that we dropped by Krispy Kreme and picked out some assorted doughnuts to take to Mee Maw's for a snack. BUT, not before we watched the doughnuts being made. That was cool!

At Mee Maw's we ate our snack and the kids played with the "junk". This is what the kids affectionately call the toys at Mee Maw's. It is a compilation of all sorts of things - from Easter eggs, a small chain, measuring spoons, plastic plates, an old butter dish, a few puzzles, a basket and little tin bucket. The kids never get tired of this and are so excited when they get there to play with this.

De-lish!

Major and the "junk"

After leaving Mee Maw's we headed to the science museum for a short visit. We ate lunch there and played hard for a little over an hour.

Isn't this cool/creepy?!

It looks like Major fell right into it!

Shew-ee!

Little bit of a problem here...

Hmmm...

Beam me up!

There is this "thing" there - it senses your motion and transfers it onto a screen that looks very 70s-ish. Ella Grace was trying to get Major in a handstand on the screen.

Our final stop was to the lake. I inadvertently forgot the swimmies, so we did a stop at Grandmother and Granddaddy's house to borrow theirs and then met Pop at the lake. The kids swam and played on the boat, Pop got a quick dive in, and I took a little snooze. I had taken some allergy medicine the night before and was just exhausted. Ugh!

By the time we got back to Nana and Pop's house the kids were worn out! No nap, but they were super! When you keep them on the move and busy, they do a great job! Just don't slow down!
