updated again.

Twice in one week by popular demand! So. Last weekend we went to the Children's Museum. It was the first day of the Wizard of Oz exhibit, so we couldn't really miss that. This year was so different from last year since Lila could walk and explore a bit more.

The kids did some nice happy posing when we got there.

Bus driver, move that bus!


Dancing with guitars and watching themselves on TV.

The Wizard of Oz room.


Elsa stares longingly at Dorothy's ruby slippers. After everything we did, she said the ruby slippers were her favorite part! I found some at Target yesterday, so she'll get them for her birthday.


Lila petting and brushing the cowardly lion.


Sliding at the Wicked Witch castle.


Elsa spins the tornado in the window of Dorothy's house!

The girls played in the sandbox on the cool rooftop garden.


There was a Subway and McDonalds on the way out of the Museum, but we like to class it up when we hit the big city. We decided to go to one of our St. Paul favorites, DeGidio's, and sit in one of their dark loungy booths. The kids had milk in heavy low ball glasses with bar straws. The kids loved it and Lila stayed pretty quiet. Must have been the darkness. Either that or all the old gangsters.


Sunday was Grandma Vera's 89th Birthday! We went to her place to celebrate with lunch, and the girls ran around the outside garden patio. Lila got a bit tired, but Elsa was so wild I could barely capture a photo.



Last week we made S'mores in the microwave and it was Lila's first time eating them. It was just like eating a sandwich - she wouldn't keep it together. Mmm!
