Discovery Gateway

My wonderful Sister in Law, Adrien, got everyone together to go to the Discovery Gateway, a children's museum. I have never been so I was excited to go. They have so many fun things to do there. They have a water area with tubes you can race balls through and waterfalls. A grocery store you can buy plastic food and take it over to the miniature play house. There's a construction area where you can build things with a huge crane to carry them with. They have a ball area, which was one of Clay's favorite places along with the water area. Upstairs they have a news station set up just like channel 5 news. You can do a broadcast or weather and see yourself on TV. It was something that we will definitely have to do again.

I wish I could have taken more pictures but my camera died half way through the day.

First Time at the Movies

After being so busy it is nice to have a day with just the family. No obligations, no cleaning the house, or no work, just family. On this relaxing day our little family decided to go to a movie. We asked Clay if he wanted to see the frog movie and he said Yeah!!. So we bought tickets to The Princess and the Frog at 11:15 am, hoping it would be too crowded since it is the fist movie Clay will see in theaters (excluding when he was a baby).

We, of course, had to get popcorn and drinks and licorice. We had a whole theater full of seats to choose from, it was empty. Clay loved seating in the buster seat...for a little while at least. He did watched to whole movie... from the stairs. He sat there almost the whole movie after a couple of rounds around the theater. He really loved the music as did I. I thought it was a cute movie. Clay was a little champ and we were lucky that there wasn't anyone else there. I would not want to do that with people there for sure.

Randon Items In Bazaar Places

Like most Mothers have experienced finding random things in most bazaar places, I too have had my taste in this.

I was trying to brush my teeth with tooth brush in hand and the tooth paste in the other. As I squeezed the tube I notice that the paste wasn't coming out like it should. I thought the there was just dry paste inside from my lovely husband leaving the cap off over night (I'm sure some of you have experienced that, too). So I just squeezed harder and I saw this weird metal thing coming out.

Thinking that the company had accidentally put something in it, I decided I better document what I find, for proof.

I kept squeezing but the paste kept coming out instead of the mysterious item. So I tried to grab it, but it was slippery and some what stuck and not coming out very well.

I finally got a good grip on it and yanked it out and this is what it was. TWEEZERS???

How the heck did tweezers get IN the tube?

I can only think of one person...CLAYTON MICHAEL TAIT!! That's right people, my sooo mischievous son somehow pushed this item in the small opening of the tooth paste tube. I don't know how a 22 month old is capable of these things. How he got it in there with the bigger end first is beyond me.

I guess I better keep my eyes open for more random items in bazaar places.

P.S. I have been looking for my tweezers for a couple of days. I almost bought some others because I was started to grow moss of a hairy texture above my eyes and we all don't want that.
