Mid Winter Recess

Valen had the week off from school and we tried to pack in as much stuff as possible. So here's a run down of our week:

~Monday--Valen got to hang out with Justin for the day at school and be his lighting model. Then she tested for and got her Green Belt in Karate. Riley loves going to Karate and playing out on the mat so much that she will invent a poopy diaper and need to changed--the bathroom is on the opposite side of the mat from where we sit.

~Tuesday--A catch up day from everything I didn't do on Monday. Although Valen did have Activity Days and Riley did have her music class.

~Wednesday--A day at the beach!--inside a shopping mall:


This is Riley surprised that I actually managed to catch up to her.



Valen and some of our friends. Hold still Jane!

I even fed my kids fast food! We had a pretzel, cheeseburger, and ice cream for lunch!


Riley being cute!

Valen also went to her first Sparring class for Karate. It was great watching her beat up other little kids and not get in trouble for it.

~Thursday we went to the Buffalo Science Museum:


Riley enjoying the boat sailing exhibit.


Valen putting a dinosaur puzzle together.


Yet another puzzle--this time with human bones.
This room is the one that I have a hard time getting my kids to leave--it contains most of the hands on exhibits. Riley likes the messy exhibits, as well as the live ones--"The bunny tickled me Mom." And Valen likes all of the games and puzzles and the ants.

~Friday--We went to Riley's new preschool class and had lots and lots of friends come over and play.

Somewhere in there we saw Justin a few times, watched a few movies--High School Musical 2 and the new Veggie Tales--ate out a few times and hung out at home a little bit.

All in all, it's been a great week! Can't wait till spring break!

Ahh, we were at the Science Museum too, but we went in the afternoon. Glad you got to go. We love that place!
