I had the distinct pleasure of going on a guided tour of Air & Space museum today. A man at the church that we attend is the director of education for the museum, and offered to take a group on a tour. I got so much more out of those two hours than I would ever have on my own. Hope you enjoy the virtual tour! I almost killed the battery on my camera!

vote - brunette or ginger?
Stay Ginger? or...
Go back to Brunette?
Which do you vote??? Should I keep the red? It's actually A LOT redder in person. There's a poll on the left.
The pictures of myself are lame...I'm the picture taker in the family, and generally the official picture taker doesn't get pictures taken of themselves, do they?

ilsa's hot new wheels
It became very apparent yesterday that Ilsa has outgrown her cute, pink bike. So a trip to the bike shop was in order...
Ilsa is very proud of her big girl bike with REAL BLACK TIRES, because "only little girl bikes have white tires."
She had also outgrown her helmet, which was a hand-me-down from a 2 year old Ingrid if you can believe it. We found one with....LADYBUGS!
"Thank you Mommy and Daddy, I ADORE my new bike!" - Ilsa

disney princessification
Yesterday I took the girls to see Disney on Ice, Princess Dreams. It was a bunch of hoo-haa about "if you wish it, it can come true". Truly don't think they caught onto the silly storyline about wishing and dreams, etc...they just wanted to see Ariel and the gang spin and jump on the ice -- and they ate it up. It was a pretty great show, especially the portions with The Little Mermaid...none of those pictures turned out though.
Belle, Lumiere and the cutlery.
Ilsa and her uber-expensive Tinkerbell spinner.
Ingrid is A LOT happier than she looks. She just hates having her picture taken.
Ditto the comment above.

one dream I hope doesn't come true.
Last night Ingrid dreamed I had 200,000 babies, well toddlers because they could talk a bit. They were all being mean to her, so she told them to, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" They didn't stop, so she hid them in the closet. That must've been a big closet.

Solar "Death Ray": Power of 5000 suns!
The geek girl in me thinks this is amazing. It's really quite beautiful, too. Just don't get in the way. Yergh..
Toxic Parenting
Parents, you need to read this blog post from Mark Altrogge's "Blazing Center" blog. We're printing it off and taping it onto our bathroom mirror.

I posted this on my blog a while back, but it's just so cute, that I just had to re-post.
