Dresser

We've been working on Noah's big boy room. Here he is showing off his new dresser.

Then he decided to rescue this little pile of leaves from being captured and placed in the bag

Here are a bunch of random pictures from May that I finally took off my phone. Up first, a delicious ice cream snack from the always awesome Plush Horse Ice Cream Parlor.

Equally awesome, chocolate milk shakes from Steak n Shake.

It's been a while since we took any goofy self-portraits.

Violet and Sadie stopped by a couple weekends ago to hit up the local Children's Museum, but first we had lunch at Choo Choo Johnny's - a fun train-themed restaurant.

Here comes lunch:

Noah loved when the choo choo brought out everyone's lunch, but what was really on his mind was riding this train.

Thrilled to be riding shotgun and not acting as engineer.

Here is the video:

After lunch we headed over to the museum. The museum itself was on the small size (compared to the last one we went to), but since there were literally only four other people there, the kids had the run of the entire place. First stop was the dinosaur play pit and then digging in the life-size dino pit for fossils.

The upstairs had a theatre area and a keyboard  you could dance on just like in the movie "Big".

 We also did some arts and crafts and played with another train.

Their favorite activity was this "pin screen" where you can make impressions on one side and see what it looks like on the other.

Having fun with the pin screen:
