Puppies, they just are that cute

My uncle got a new puppy for his friend that he is delivering next week, but I got to spend a little time with her today before she is gone.

Fizz Bang Boom

On Monday the five of us went to a Parks and Rec class called Fizz Bang Boom. We made butter, played with baking soda and vinegar, and made cinnamon bears.

Asleep on the floor

I really don't know why he did this. He first fell asleep on the floor in his room, and then got up, went to the bathroom, and laid down here to fall asleep again.

Disneyland in the Rain

Just Seth and I went to Disneyland last Friday. It was pouring rain
most of the day, but it didn't seem to bother Seth.

Mud Boy

Last week during the rains Davis escaped. This is what he looked like when he got back. At least he put on his hat.

Ballerina

Audrey is taking a tap/ballet class. Her friend Abigail is also in
the class and her mom made Audrey this tutu. Mostlythey just wander
around. Some of the older kids are more able to follow along. But
its still extremely cute!

What the world should be like for 2-4 year olds

On Friday my mom and I took the three kids to a new children's museum in Irvine called Pretend City. This place was an amazing wonderland for the kids. I think we may have hit it at the exact right age for all three of them to enjoy it. I think they would have stayed there forever if we let them. Basically its a warehouse sized room with all the different things you would find in a city, such as a police station, post office, grocery store etc. I will say it again, they LOVED it. In fact I think someone better build one in Long Beach, or I may have to move to Irvine for the next few years.

Playing at the "beach"

Building a house, Audrey using the screwdrivers, Seth putting on siding and plumbing.

On to the giant Lincoln logs area:

The whold place has phones that all can talk to the dispatch. My kids didn't get into that, but maybe they will next time. They also had money, time cards and ATMs, but we didn't get to that level either.

Then there was the Marina. Lots of water, plastic coats to wear, and one section had blowers and sailboats, and Seth figured out exactly how to make them go with the wind all on his own.

Most of the time they all three were running in different directions, but at one point all three went to the theater/stage complete with music and lights and danced and sang and dressed up.

There was a restaurant including kitchen:

And a farm area with "dirt" to dig in and plant things and a harvesting area.

And the only non-pretend thing I saw, some chicks:

Seth spent a very long time driving this car around on all the roads and here is where he found a parking space and parked "perfect"

There was also a grocery store, doctor's office and art room. All in all the best place my kids have ever been.

Ballerina

Audrey went to her first ballet/tap combo class through Cerritos Parks and Rec on Friday. Mostly she hung in the background but after class was over she was willing to show me how she can spin. Her friend Abbigail is in the class as well.
