Museums, Birthdays, and Deaths

18 07 2011

This was not the best week in kid-world.  We started our butterfly project but didn’t get it finished.  We didn’t even look at our sphinx project.  I forgot the camera for most of the photo-friendly activities, and we missed the free movie AND the Children’s museum.  Fails all around.

However, it was not without some redemptive moments.  Last weekend we went to the Natural Science Museum in Houston where the Elizabeth demonstrated some incredible dinosaur and Egypt knowledge.  She was the star of the tour group and not even by a small margin.  Super awesome.  :)

Tori’s lunch of choice is always “meat sandwich, no cheese.”  And frequently she prefers just the meat, no bread.  Today she chose to combine it will her other favorite, raisins.  It’s a little wacky, but she liked it.

Elizabeth and Tori are rocking the burial arm positioning of Egyptian queens.  Obviously.  :)

Elizabeth asked the tour guide if the sarcophagus was from Egypt and he said, “It’s a reproduction, I think it came from Ebay.”  LOL.

Elizabeth holding fossilized poop.  This was a high point for her in this visit.  :)

Tori holding a T-Rex tooth.

We also went on a trip to the bunny shelter to get more bunny supplies.

And then, tragedy.  Our male bunny, Snowy, died suddenly and unexpectedly.  We were all heartbroken.  Snowy was a wonderful pet.  He’s the white one in this picture.

But we also had some happiness, as it was Tori’s 4th birthday.  We went a variety of places where I forgot my camera (GAH!) but we had a lovely time and she did get a few presents, although I prefer experiences to objects for the girls.  And of course, cupcakes.  :)
