who knew that that short sentence could cause TONS of tears after such a nice day. We started off the morning enjoying only slightly burnt gingerbread muffins (I won't be making that recipe again although burning them and setting off the smoke alarm many times yesterday could be why they didn't turn out so well.) By 9 am, we had picked up the bear family and were headed to Marbles museum in Raleigh. K told me he'd been dreaming about going to the museum since I told him about the museum pass (a wonderful birthday gift for the boys!) We got there and the kids had a great time- driving fire engines, planting vegetables, dressing up like fruit, caring for livestock, seeing canned food statues (even if we had to have a museum worker explain Peter Rabbit), playing on the pirate ship, what a great museum! We like Fayetteville a lot but it sure would be nice to have something like that here! We went to Roly Poly for lunch and the elephant kids ate all their food + some of the bear food. Then back for more museum fun- this time building and racing cars, playing drums, weaving rugs, building a tall tall tower, ice fishing. A great trip!
After a short rest at home, we headed to Home Fires (a wonderful ministry through a Methodist church which hosts monthly dinners for spouses of deployed soldiers.) I enjoyed a yummy dinner and a good evening with great women while the boys were well care for in the nursery. They made cute snowmen and (I thought) they all made jello. That was (not my first) mistake- as I told their nite-nite story about the fun day the elephant family had today, I ended with "K elephant and C elephant ate their yummy jello." I'm now guessing that only the big kid room had jello so little C heard that his elephant counterpart had some jello but he didn't have any. Pretty upsetting when you're barely 3 and missed your nap! But a pretty good day when that's the roughest part of it. Thank you James for your prayers for us to have a good day and God for giving us one!
