Oh, making a campfire in my driveway

wasn’t the only thing we did while I had the girls for two weeks.

Can you say cupcakes?!?

Before you make fun of me for dressing them alike,

you should know that they all love it.

I realize that I have about one year of them loving it left,

so I’m making good use of my time.

After cupcakes, we met up with one of my college girls, Lizy…

and her fiancé Caleb…

at the Children’s Creative Discovery Museum downtown!

My favorite part of the museum is the area where you can

put on scrubs and pretend to be a nurse or even a doctor, if so you desire.

Of course, I also love the room full of water, too.

They have an area of the museum that is devoted to art.

And an area for finding dinosaur bones, too.

We climbed…

and wore wellies in the water room…

and even played on the roof of the building, too!

If that wasn’t enough, we even recorded a song in the music lab.

Almost every single day,

I think of something new that I want to teach the girls.

One thing I know for sure

is that I want them to have an appreciation of the arts.

I want them to play in rooms full of water

and make sculptures out of clay

and be exposed to creativity at their young ages.

I’ve got a long way to go in bringing that to all five of their lives.

But I think we’re off to a good start.
