we've been everywhere, man...

this past week has felt like that johnny cash song...

 i've been everywhere man, i've been everywhere. 

it's been the girls winter break, so we've been out of school.

we've been busy playing and having many sleepovers and playdates. 

 this is ella's new favorite outfit.  maybe she'll be a stylist oneday.

 before our break i was able to attend the 4th grade living museum.  each child chose someone they wanted to represent.  aftie chose mary anning, an early female fossil-hunter.  she had to prepare and memorize important facts about mary anning's life.  the visitors to the living museum pushed the button (circle sticker) on the child's hand and the presentation began!  all the kids were amazing.  it was interesting to hear about some well-known people whose life stories i was unfamiliar with. 

 a trip to red robin for dinner.  these two are so silly.

 ry had monday off of work so we went bowling.  we had a great time together!

we love hanging out with these friends. 

we hit the science museum (one of our favorite spots) and loved the narnia exhibit!

now i am going to focus my full attention on the academy awards.

ryan hates this evening of the year with all of his heart. 

one year he even went to the emergency room to get out of watching!
