Family Field Trip

We decided we were in need of a bit of culture a few weekends ago. So we decided to do the unthinkable, and take the whole family to a museum. Here Georgia is confused...she thinks I said "Playseum." This mistake was not discovered for a few hours, however.

We have no photos in the museum itself, because we were too busy trying to make sure Georgia didn't cause a national incident by touching one of the paintings at a fancy impressionist exhibit. We also learned that if you try to put your baby on your shoulders at this museum, a guard will tell you to stop. Who knew?


Later, we went to an outdoor gallery. G was a good sport about posing.
We promised G a treat at the fancy new bakery that recently came to town.
Jealous?


It was a fun day, all around.
Then we drove by the Occupy protest, just for a little more newsworthiness.
Later the girls got a little crazy with a messy dinner.

As long as her big sister is having fun, Sophie is game for just about anything.

We've been busy

Apologies for the long delay in posting - we've been trying to keep up with Sophie and her big appetite. Latest favorites: salisbury steak, toast, cereal, Peruvian chicken, rice and beans, fruit of all kinds, and banana yogurt.

Family picture?

This is on the wall at school. Very intriguing depiction. Sophie gets just a tiny mention as Georgia's "baby." My hairdo is surprisingly accurate. And Georgia's imaginary friend Adrian (who has been with us since school started - a very developmentally-appropriate coping mechanism, by the way) has full-fledged representation. Georgia keeps telling everyone, "Adrian is my brother. He goes to a different school." Shes so adamant, I think her teachers suspect that I'm the one not telling the truth.

OVERHEARD

Daddy and G are reading Richard Scarry's Busytown book...

Daddy: See Georgia, this is what people do in offices, this person is a lawyer.
Georgia: What's a lawyer?
Daddy: When two people are fighting, a lawyer helps them stop fighting.
Georgia: I need a lawyer.
Daddy: Well, daddy's a lawyer!
Georgia: I need a different lawyer.
Daddy: Ok, well let's see, Finn's mommy is a lawyer.
Georgia: I want to talk to Finn's mommy.

Home again

Back from vacation with only half the drama of last year's broken leg. This time G had pneumonia at the BEACH and ended up giving upper respiratory infections to all except Sophie and grandma (at least we think so). Home last night we were all so happy to get to sleep in our own beds. And these sisters were doubly happy to sleep in their own matching pjs.
