Discovery Gateway

We took the kiddos to the Children's Museum at Discovery Gateway on President's Day.  We had a fun time but it was extremely crowded.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect while we were there but I heard it was a lot of fun.  I'd like to go back when it isn't so crowded so that I can let the boys be a little more free.  We were unable to let them out of our sight for half a second or we wouldn't be able to see where they were given the crowds.  There was plenty to do and see though and it was somewhat educational.  Definitely something we'll try again. 




I think Evan's favorite part was the water table.  He was getting soaking wet and would have loved to stay there all day long. 











Ryan's favorite part was the helicopter.  He was commanding all of the kids in the chopper and he totally thought he was in charge. He could have stayed THERE all day, but the rest of us were freezing outside.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
