Museum of Science and Industry

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Today we spent the day with my sister and her boyfriend, Lee and Leigh. First the kids and I went to go and see their new apartment and had breakfast. Then we all piled into the car and drove to the Museum of Science and Industry.  I do have to tell you the this museum never disappoints.  It's just as good now as it was the last time I went, riding on a school bus.  We had a bit of a problem with Wyatt wanting to explore the entire museum at mock speed and Ben just being an arrss.  That's my new name for him, Arrss.  Not sure how you would spell that, but it's my nice way of calling him an ass.  Benjamin is currently struggling with boundaries and getting what he wants.  He's so lucky he's cute! 

Funniest moments on the day -

First when the tree in the farm section jumped in front of me and I ran right into it.  All my sister heard was THUMP and then me saying, "Oh, there's a tree there."  I thought she was going to loose it.  Of course I did this while she was taking a sip of water and she almost spit it all over herself.  Now I think that really would have made this story good.

Then when Wyatt found a piece of candy.  My sister took Riley and Wyatt up the stairs while the rest of us took the elevator.  (You might think we're lazy, but have you seen the limo I call a stroller?)  So we get out of the elevator and Leigh and Riley and swallowing laughter and Wyatt is sitting there like nothing happened.  Apparently there was a piece of candy on the bench.  Leigh flung it on the ground and before she could say, "Wyatt - No!"  He already had it in his mouth and half chewed.  His response was, "Aunti, It's strawberry."

After that we went out for pizza where Ben screamed and hollered so much that the guys behind the counter just started giving him candy to try and make him be quiet.  It worked so did I care that my kid was getting all sugared up?  Nope.  Then we dropped Lee at the bus station and took Leigh to work. I'm pretty sure I got my picture taken while driving home and will be getting a nice letter in the mail from the City of Chicago. Guess I have to pay my dues for visiting. 

Thanks for a great day guys!
