Dinning Room Before and After.

Here's the before . . .




















and here's the after. It is not totally done yet. The blue needs a second coat and we are planning to put up more pictures but this is the basic idea.

Preschool Easter Egg Hunt


This is a picture of Nyla finding her first egg. She was so excited that she didn't bother to pick up the ones next to it. Nyla isn't the best egg hunter, each kid brought 12 eggs to hide, Nyla found 6. Her method was grabbing an egg and running to the other end of the playground rather than pick up ones next to it. She had fun though.

Spring Break 3

We caught Grandma Esther still in her rollers one morning. So, of course, Nyla had to have some too.














Nyla enjoyed playing with Pat's old ninja sword. She liked it so much she fell asleep with it one night.

Explorium

Nyla and I spent some Daddy-Daughter today at the Explorium, the children's museum in downtown Lexington. She had a fun time with the model of the Kentucky river (making it flood/dry up), riding and brushing the full-size horse replicas, flying the plane, exploring the cave, and walking on the moon, but her favorite things were the giant human mouth and the bubble room.

They had an eight foot human mouth that you could climb around on, and Nyla spent much time doing so, saying that she was a sugar bug (which is what we tell Nyla she has on her teeth when we brush them) turning the teeth green (which is what we tell her sugar does to teeth), and also saying "I'm a germ! I'm crawling into this person's mouth and making them sick!"

In the bubble room, you could walk into an area where you were surrounded by columns of water with bubbles of water rising; Nyla called it the "bubble cage". Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera...she was quite picturesque in the bubble cage, on the teeth, and riding her horse. You could also stand in the middle of a circle and pull a rope, raising the circle and forming a huge cylindrical bubble all around you; we did this a few dozen times. Nyla had a wonderful time, and fell fast asleep on the car ride home.
