A day at the museum

On Saturday we took a little family field trip to the Museum of Natural History on U of M's campus. This was a very cool little museum. It is the perfect size for little people. One floor has artifacts from the dinosaur era. There were a couple of large dinos that were Lizzie's favorites. The next level had displays of critters that live in Michigan-in the water, woods and air. The upper floor has a little hands on section as well as a planetarium. I would recommend this museum for young ones (Tim and I enjoyed it too!). It was not too busy like I would imagine the Hands-On Museum would be this time of year. And of course, once you can find a place to park, its always fun to be on campus!

So how about that Grey's Anatomy?

I admit it! I love Grey's Anatomy. I guess this should be part of my "things I love" series.

(Don't read any further if you haven't watched this weeks episode)

I can't wait to sit down and veg out for an hour on Thursday nights.

Lately this show has turned me into a cry baby. First there was the episode with George's dad. It was very well done.

But tonight...............I am a mess right now. Will they really kill off Meredith Grey? Or will McDreamy come in and be her knight in shining armour? I hate sad endings, so I hope McDreamy saves the day.

I guess we will have to wait for another week.

Another baby for me....

The four-legged furry kind that is!!!

After talking with my good friend Michelle, she convinced me that I needed one more dog. Ok-I had been thinking about it since Toby's mom is pregnant and Michelle just gave me the little nudge I needed!! Something about two are easier than one! My mom states that also works for kids, but I don't believe her!!

So Toby's mom is due next week-probably around Valentine's day. And I get first pick of the litter! Hurray for me!! I will probably select another boy. Toby will be in heaven having a playmate.

It's a cousin's sleepover!

Last weekend my baby brother Justin and his wife Autumn celebrated their 5 year wedding anniversary. Two of their three children came over here to spend the night so they could have some mom and dad time. Lizzie adores her cousins.

Tim and I were brave and took the boys and Lizzie to Cabela's. The boys were very good for us. Those fish are a great source of entertainment!

But I do have a great appreciation for those who have more than one child. I don't know how my sister-in-law gets three little bodies out the house everyday!
