More MMFA

He still has not decided which is more fun...construction or destruction.













































Sam loves shapes (We are still working on colors. He thinks everything is yellow!) and was trying to match them in this tangram puzzle.

MMFA

Today was our first real rainy day in Montgomery (bad for us but good for the farmers, I suppose) so we had to find something to do indoors. So we went to check out the children's part of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, called Artworks. It was so cool! Sam was big enough to do most of the things and had so much fun.

He loves building with "bocks" anytime, anyplace.






This was our favorite activity. Push a button to race Dale EarnART's or EliART Sadler's car around the racetrack on a replica of an abstract painting called Talladega Three. Sam could not get enough of it!


Making a slide out of a sculpture. Sam will try to slide down most anything with a slight incline, except of course, a real slide. Go figure!

Children's Museum

Sam and I went to Imagine It, the children's museum in Atlanta. He loves it there because he can run from exhibit to exhibit and get into everything! As you can see from the pictures of the back of his head, I spend my time there just trying to keep up!

His favorite thing is this huge apparatus that moves plastic balls all over the place. You can turn cranks, pull levers, push buttons, etc to make the balls go where you want. he always spends most of his time there.

There were several classes there on field trips and they were rowdy! They made the mess below, not MY little angel.

Sam loves loading groceries on and off the Publix truck from the market area. (Can't you see the one piece of asparagus in that basket?) He climbs up front to drive the truck too.

One fish two fish...

We are in Atlanta (Andy is working and Sam and I are tagging along.) and spent the day at the aquarium yesterday. Sam wasn't nearly as impressed as I had hoped he would be! He just sat back and took in the sights. He did enjoy hunting for Nemo and Dori in the tanks. Plus, he experienced his first 4D movie but to him it must have just looked like a very blurry movie with occasional bursts of bubbles, water, and streamers because he refused to wear the special glasses. Tomorrow we are going to the Children's Museum. More on that later....

My boys

Every night Andy and Sam spend some quality time playing games like "Tackle!" and "D'oh!" and doing some silly roughhousing. I am not sure who enjoys it more...
On a good day, Andy might even get some snuggles from Sam like those above.

Family Bbq

We had some friends over to bbq and play yesterday. Here are some shots of the cutest partygoers!


Julia, future cornhole champ!

Sweet little Moseley


He shoots, he scores!! So far the slam dunk is his best (only) move...

Exploring Fairhope

Sam and I went to check out the community built park in Fairhope while we stayed with Ben.



We must check out the trash can everywhere we go...just in case.






Sam was so hot and tired afterward that he fell asleep in his carseat with a half eaten chicken nugget still in hand. And, if you must know, yes, I ate the rest of it. Self control; it's just controlling myself...
