March Adventures

Here's the round up of our adventures for March (in pictures):

J started trying to colour inside the lines

One day I couldn't find J during nap time (when he usually doesn't sleep) and it took me a moment to spot a hand and foot here.  He slept for 2 hours!

We went with friends to the new Perot natural history museum in Dallas.

J liked the interactive screens.

C liked the magnetic puzzle.

We had a picnic at the airport...

so we could see Auntie Naomi as she passed through

She brought presents!

We visited the Dallas Zoo with friends.

We had lots of fun.

J got up the courage to pet a native Texan possum.

After the keeper gave her talk.  Did you know they not only play dead to avoid predators but also let of a 'dead scent' to make the act more realistic?

The children's zoo had a fun spiderweb so our budding Spiderman had a go...

and was joined by his brother.

The weather has got warmer, and C has decided he likes air on his skin... a lot!

We went to a friend's 5th birthday party.  J discovered 'little legos' and was quite happy building with and without assistance.

The lego theme included a cake of 'bricks', chocolate bricks, gummy bricks and men, straws and streamers with lego-man faces, favours of lego-man soaps and crayons and lego notebooks and 'tattoos'.  E had fun getting ready!

And she lent us her silicone molds so we melted down some of our old crayons and made our own bricks.

And that was all before Easter weekend.  More on that later.
