Getting out
August 27, 2010 | Filed Under Being Mom, Pictures | 34 Comments
My mom has recently given us a membership to the Children’s Museum & we’ve been every week since she’s given us our card. I think the greatest thing is that they have a Tot Spot for children 36 months and younger, it’s wonderful! Some of Micah’s favorite things are racing cars, playing with the over sized lite-brite, “buying” fruit and the craft center.
Today in the craft center they had play-dough but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the play-dough brand because it smelled different it smelled REALLY good. And that’s coming from someone who enjoys the smell of play-dough! Micah was a bit confused at first…thought that maybe he was suppose to eat the squishy substance. But he wasn’t alone, a little girl at a table next to us was also trying to eat hers.
What smells bring back child hood for you? Sharpened pencils, play-dough, dirt, fresh baked cookies? What smells take you back & make you smile?
Alone.

So many people would benefit from learning to be alone. I’m not talking let’s all out and get divorces or break off relationships. I’m talking about about being comfortable in your skin. I can easily sit in a restaurant by myself and eat a meal. Going to a movie alone? That would be heaven. I think it’s all about being comfortable with your skin & thoughts. It isn’t the end of the world to spend time alone. I rejoice in it, but I guess that being a stay/work-at-home mom gives me more of a push to want to have alone time even more now then I did before. But even before having a child, I could sit in the middle of a mall alone, go to movies alone, enjoy lunch sitting by myself in a packed restaurant….but I know this isn’t something everyone can do. In fact, the husband can not do this. He rather sit in his car eating his lunch then sit at a park, fast food place or anywhere he is publicly alone. He’s never been to the movies alone. He thinks I’m weird & I think he’s weird.
Scuttle still getting laughs..

Every time we watch The Little Mermaid this part gets big laughs from Micah. He loves older Disney movies, I think it’s all the music in them. Does it sadden anyone else that animated movies these days don’t have all the wonderful & catchy songs that they did before they were all done by computers?
Where have you been?

Well I know you might have been wondering what the heck is wrong my page? I haven’t updated in forever. It’s weird. It’s strange. Oh wait, we’re talking about me? Yeah it’s all on track. Sometimes life just grabs you in a choke hold & you can’t get out of it.
Changes are happening. And hopefully everything goes accordingly so I can just feel relieved and not have these things on my mind all the time. Just wanted to pop in. Still messing with the new layout on here, so let me know if anything is a bit wonky.
The Orange Show…

Saturday our plans got all flipped around…but that’s normal for us. We were suppose to go the Saint Arnolds brewery for a tour & then later that night go to watch a movie in the park. But after a hectic morning, we ended up not making it in time for the tour. So instead we headed to lunch with Micah & some friends where we decided to head on over to The Orange Show. None of us had been & it is a super cheap way to kill some time. Micah had a ball running around, hiding, climbing and just being his wild self!
The Orange show was completely beautiful & fun! There was so much work put into it, like the doors that were completely tiled. Or the tiled sayings & quotes. The man who built this was in love with tile it seems! There are two stages for shows to happen on with tons of colorful seating everywhere! I think this place could be added to my “Oh my gosh I need to take pictures of awesome people here” list. Actually next weekend I think I’ll be taking my sister-in-law & her three girls to take pictures here. They are all wacky & colorful…just like The Orange Show!
Loads more pictures are on my flickr!
Lacking.

This menu is such a creative way to plan your weekly dinner menus! Alma from Ollibird suggests putting it the Ikea Ribba frame & using dry eraser markers…brilliant!
