Rainy days

We woke up to MORE RAIN!

We made some coffee and toast, watched THREE episodes of LIFE (dvr'd so we got to fast forward through commercials).

This series is amazing! Captivated even liv! Our favourite stories were the tree frog carrying it's tadpoles to safety and the giant octopus laying 100,000 eggs!


While liv was napping I was presented with this-




An invitation special delivery



It was to inform me that the unicorn club meeting was about to start. It also says "lunch provided. Sign in before entering. Wipe shoes before entering too"

When I got to the club, my lunch was given to me. Ira said "its arugula and celery. I left the white part on the celery, hope that's ok".


Then I had to sign in






I'm sitting here all alone though. The other unicorn members are still outside.... They are LATE!

Open house. Stressful!

Our open house was today from 1-4. We had showings at 11, 12, 1 and 4:15.

No one showed up to the open house because the signs got knocked down, maybe a potential buyer hoping to thwart competition? Lol.

So we had to kill time.

And emers did not want to be in the car. Except for when he slept- then we didn't want to wake him.



There were
Roadside wildflower picking


Boredom



More boredom


We read Library books in our neighbours backyard.
The girls played with our neighbours who rock at expending large amounts of energy with the girls.

Went to starbucks & target.

Ira put together some puzzles.

Now we are vegging out.

Saturday.... In the park...

Oh what a day! I cut iras HAIR!
She cut a small piece off and I evened it out. It looks great. It was all the baby fine hair that got cut though, so it was a little bitter sweet.
There was clock crafting...







Some time spent looking up & researching Astroids and astroids belts!






Some drawing, dancing, trader joes, cranky mama needing food.....

We made candied pecans from scratch- they were lovely.
Emers rolls over!!!!!

We went down to the university to run in the grass and look at the stars. There was an even goin on so we also got live music.

It was dark and I only had my iPhone so I didn't capture much....

We went to flandrau to look through their huge public telescope!

Amazing! We also got our own private lecture from an awesome volunteer organizer/docent. It was awesome! He taught us all about orions nebulae and showed ira orions belt. We told him she was into astroids and Jupiter and he talked to her a bit about that.

Then we went inside andwere able to listen another very informative bit about the nebulae and then got to look through the telescope.

We didn't get to see Saturn because liv was falling asleep and it was getting crowded.

I want to say, the guys operating the telescope were SO great with our kids. They took time out to address them individually. Then, when ira couldn't see through the telescope, even though there was a long line, he stopped and helped her and let her take her time.

There were also two Russian visitors that when we walked in, jumped up, gave us their seats and asked our children to go in front of them. We were all so shocked.

That never happens to us here.

I've mentioned it to Jared before, no one ever offers their seats to women and children. Which is weird to me, because in the Midwest, people either jump up or say to the people sitting "get up and give the lady your seat" and I spent my youth saying "no, it's alright but thank you anyway!"

I'm excited to show the kids a bit more friendly area of the country!

Ok, end my rant!

Poor picture of our walk there!
