Kid's Center

Yesterday afternoon for one of Luke's Boy Scout requirements he picked out a place to go, found it on the map, gave me directions on how to get there and then at the end calculated how much the fuel cost for the trip...$1.25 by the way.  He picked a toy store called Kid's Center.  This particular toy store is as educational as Mrs. Tiggy Winkle's is artful.

This store has books, collectibles, puzzles, science kits, dress ups, thinking games, you name it.

We found an M.C. Escher puzzle grandpa Oldham would love to help us with.

On the way home we happened to go through a Taco Bell drive through.  While waiting for our food, Sylvia looked at the sixteen year old Taco Bell employee and said, "He's cute.  I want to marry him if he doesn't already have a wife."  Do you think I should be a little worried?

Sylvia's Bag Shirt and Hazel's Cloth Cupcakes

I had the kids pack for our trip to California.  When Sylvia brought me her backpack it was stuffed full so I just asked her if she had underwear, pajamas, shirts, pants, etc.  Once we got there I discovered she certainly thought to pack her pillow and stuffed unicorn but forgot to pack shirts.  She ended up making her own shirt.  Clever girl.

Don't worry, these are "nice guy cross eyes."

Some funny pictures by Hazel.

Isabel is cute but I don't know what's going on in the background.

Natalie made Hazel some cloth cupcakes with magnets sewed into the bottom.  As you can see, the bottoms of the tin are painted to make a matching cupcake game.

After placing the cupcakes in the color matching tin, Hazel claps and shouts, "Hurray!"
