Carnegie Museum Trip

We went to the museum with Grammie M and Granpapa a couple weeks ago. It was a really nice evening. We had a quick dinner here, then walked over to the museum. It was great for the kids. The museum was almost empty so we kind of had the run of the place. I had been hoping to show Caleb the new T-Rex but that area still isn't open yet. The kids still had fun running around and looking at the other dinosaurs though. It had been a while since the grandparents had been to the museum so I think they liked seeing all the changes.

After the dinosaurs, we went up to the animal exhibits (a favorite part to see). Both my dad and I remember coming to the museum as college students to draw from the animals. Caleb loved checking out the animals and was even able to name the Jaguar- I was impressed because I can get the various spotted big cats mixed up sometimes. Sadie seemed to just love running around, carrying bear and climbing on whatever things she could find.

But they did get tired and we made our way back home. The monkeys happily went to bed and we're still hearing Caleb talk about the museum with Grammie M and Grandpapa and the dinosaurs.

Potatoes and Teapots

Sadie

While fixing lunch this afternoon, I happened to look down to see Sadie chewing on a raw potato that she had dug out. She hadn't gotten too much of it, just some nice teeth marks. Later she saw it sitting on the counter and said "apple" so I guess that's why she tried to eat it.

Caleb

This evening, Andy took Caleb and Sadie for a walk in Squirrel Hill while I worked out. They did a bit of window shopping while they were walking around. At one store Caleb looked in the window and saw "a soccer ball for tea" referring to the black and white spotted teapot.

Caleb and the Guitar

Just had to post this real quick this afternoon. Caleb and Sadie really love my guitar and today Caleb got it from my room and I found him sitting on the futon playing and singing Old MacDonald. Of course, I grabbed the camera and got to record his next number "the Wheels on the Bus." It was a more interpretive version in that he sang the first verse in his room, went to Sadie's room to sing "the babies on the bus..." and then finished with singing "the mommies on the bus..." in my room. I think you'll see his guitar style shows a little bit of an Eric Clapton influence :-)

Anyways, sorry if this is a little long but i thought it would be a great video should he ever become a famous musician :-)

have a wacky wednesday!
