Science Center Camp-In with Jake

We had tons of fun together! The Mars exhibit and IMAX were AWESOME!! Sleeping on the floor in the old weather station was NOT awesome... but at least we lost an hour of misery on account of daylight savings time! After the camp-in was officially over on Sunday, we put our gear in the car, went to Starbucks, and then reentered and continued to enjoy the displays. We even got to see a corn snake show, which was right up Jake's alley! We then went to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch. We got a volcano dessert. We'd always wanted to try one. And for $15, I was determined to enjoy every bite. Never mind that neither of us could budge for about an hour afterwards. Not a bite of ice cream went wasted!! Jake was delightful, as usual. Midway through he gave me a big squeeze and said "Oh THANK YOU for bringing me here mom. This is SOOOO fun!" Awww... moms just love that kind of stuff! I love his appreciative nature!

Washington Park

Wow have we ever had a mild winter!!! The weather has been amazing, for Washington standards! Last Saturday it was nearly 60 degrees and bright and sunny. Jake, Jayden and I had a picnic at the park by the beach. Perfect for us because Jake could flip rocks and find critters and Jayden could play on the playground. She loved hanging on the spinner thing and twisting around and around. Despite her tiny size, she is quite strong and hung on tight! The playground is unique so fun to explore!

Kinder Registration

How did she get so big!!! Jayden registered for kindergarten last week and she is soooo excited!!! She thinks she starts tomorrow! I heard there were WAY more boys than girls registering (like 18 boys to 2 girls!) Good thing she's so used to boys! It will be fun to have her with me next year some days! But I did tell her to stop growing up so fast!!!

Build A Bear and Children's Museum

More fun with my favorite girl when her daycare was closed! She used up her Build a Bear gift card from Santa with what else? but a new puppy! I tried to sway her toward the pastel rabbit for Easter, but she wasn't havin' it!

Jump Planet

Jayden's daycare was closed for several days when the high school basketball team went to state. So, we had a couple fun days together. One day we went to a place called "Jump Planet" that I had heard about on Facebook. She had a blast jumping around. I want to go back with the other kids (they were at school).
