Museum of Science and Discovery

I live in a climate where it is hot for 50 weeks a year. That is both wonderful and painful. I quite enjoy getting to be outside nearly every single day (unless its raining). However, I hate to be hot. I get grumpy when I am hot.

It's March and already in the 80s. Realizing it's only going to get hotter, I decided that I needed to find some quality indoor activities. My friends told me about The Museum of Science and Discovery. It's a fantastic place to take kids. We got a membership so we can go often! The membership gets us in at 300 museums around the country, which is also fun!

I took the kids today, and we had a blast! Caleb asked if we could go every day!

I know this is so gross, but Luke looked so funny I couldn't help but laugh:

I have another picture of him with an orange that he carried around most of the day, but it won't upload :(

Caleb and Chloe loved playing in the cockpit:

Airplane wheels:

I know this will sound so dumb, but I had the mental picture that airplane wheels are the size of stroller wheels. It's not like I had ever dwelled on that thought, but I had that image. When I saw how big the wheels actually are, I was like "duh, they'd have to be big!" Common sense, of course, but I never really thought about it!

What a fun day!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
