Since I knew that we had a super busy day planned for today, I decided to save our pictures from Friday for today. Friday was a rather mellow day, mostly due to it being cold and rainy out. Dave had the day off again (yay!), and we spent the better part of the day trying to figure out something fun to do. While we were trying to figure out what to do, Grace noticed that our beans had gotten even bigger.
She then got a hair cut from Gramma,
while Emma checked out (yet again) the zipper on Gramma's luggage.
We then said "until we meet again" to Gramma,
who headed home after a spending a fabulous week with us.
The girls and Daddy played for a bit.
First with princesses,
and then with the PS3.
After which was nap/quiet time. We spent much of naptime trying to come up with a fun and exciting plan for the evening, and thanks to Grace we finally did. What we adults could not come up with in hours, she came up with in seconds! When she came downstairs after she was done with quiet time, David and I asked her what she wanted to do today. She replied, "Get ice cream." Which sounded perfect, and a quick Google search produced a fabulous ice cream parlor in Newton; Cabot's. I had been there once a couple of years ago, and loved it. It was the perfect place for our evening adventure. We called our friends to see if they wanted to join us, and off we went.
Dinner was had, and then it was time for the moment we had all been waiting for:
Ice Cream!
My sundae.
Molly helps Uncle Dave eat his huge sundae.
Clearly, we all could have shared any one of the sundae's we adults chose.
Especially this one!
It was the cherry on top of the sundae that was our Friday!
We hope each of you had a wonderful weekend.
As always, we'll see you tomorrow!

Yesterday was supposed to be a beautiful day but the weather decided to keep us on our toes and change our plans. A few times over.
First, we discovered that our beans had grown even bigger!
Look closely.
The beans have moved to the top of the ziploc bag,
while the roots have done what roots do (move down).
Really neat!
Next, the girls discovered some bubble wrap on the table.
And of course, it was just begging to be played with.

Playing hide and seek.
Where's Emma?
There she is!
On our way to the Children's Museum.
It may not have been the day we had planned, but it was a fabulous day nonetheless!
We hope you are enjoying this incredible weather (80 degrees in April? Simply Amazing!)
Have a wonderful rest of the day, friends.
We'll see you tomorrow.

This morning I woke up to discover this:
How I missed this last night I am not so sure,
but it was rather sweet to discover it first thing this morning.
And later on we discovered this:
Our beans are sprouting!
The girls made these a couple of Saturdays ago when we went to the Children's Museum.
We've been checking every day, and today they had sprouted!
It's very exciting, and clearly required much investigation.
The people at the Children's Museum had the girls spray their piece of paper towel with water.
Then we placed it in the ziploc bag and the staff member stapled it.
She then had the girls place their beans in each bag above the staples.
We zipped it closed, and she told us to keep the paper towel moist and
to tape it to a sunny window.
We hope your day was full of surprises, wonder and magic!
As always, we'll see you tomorrow.
