22nd Picture

This picture is from July 2007 and is of Aidan at the Mississippi River Museum. He was enthralled with the big fish in the big aquarium right in the middle of museum. He sat there for forever just watching them.

Day at the Imaginarium

The Science museum had a neat demonstration today, so we took our oppurtunity to get out of the house. It was a Fire and Ice demo. For the price of regular admission, they got to go to the museum and then visit the Ice display. That had all sorts of ice-related activities. Then, later in the day, they had a Fire demo that we watched. After all that, we had some errands to run and headed home. It was a long, but very fun, day.

Nathanial has his turn. Now it's Ethan's turn!

Aidan and Nathanial try the spinner thing together (not sure what it's called).Aidan, Nathanial, Ethan, and Noah play with the music pipes.

Mom, Hannah, and Austin join in the fun.

Nathanial and Ethan find the snakes fascinating.

Noah and Ethan find even more snakes!
Hannah's having fun!

Austin plays with the ball thing.

Setting the ball back down on it - it always lands right on top.

We're Back!!!

We went to Shawna's last week and had a lot of fun....and a little fighting (the kids, not us). We spent a lot of time hanging out and went to the river museum and the pool in Dubuque.

The museum had an exibit on all things venomous, so Austin loved that. I got a ton of great pictures that I will add to the dropshots page (www.dropshots.com/5boysmom).

We got home and unpacked everyone, then re-packed Austin for camp. He left Sunday afternoon and we go back to get him Friday afternoon. I hope he's having fun!

Our drive home was an interesting one, but I will leave that for a whole other post.

Our week has been pretty relaxing, with just me and the "little boys". If I can stop napping, maybe I can start keeping up with the blog again. I am just absolutely exhausted lately! I go back in tomorrow for a check and the glucose test...yuck.
