OMSI with Cindy, #3 of 3

Ellen wrote a few prescriptions,

while Emily doctored a sick baby fox.

Emily fell in love with Goliath, the T-Rex fossil, and his "child," the head that was near him.

Make your prediction

This is my 20-week self-portrait. Ultrasound is tomorrow afternoon--I'll hopefully post by early evening. When I asked Ellen what she thought I was having, she said, "Toothbrush." So, she's not really a big help. Sorry.

They had playdough with glitter in it!!

Cindy and Megan painted a little bit more than the girls...

Emily got to have her face painted, which she has been wanting for quite some time.

This was our first time going to OMSI in the afternoon, and it was empty--I loved it. There was a bit of traffic coming and going, but the kids had everything at their disposal with no competition. They played with toys I had never even noticed before.

Practice Fourth

Since Aunt Cindy was also going to miss the Fourth, we had to practice that, too (on the 3rd).

Throwing pop-its

Look at Ellen's face! She was so excited.

Love the combo of my holding Ell by the scruff of her jammies and Emily holding the sparkler out of reach.

Practice Birthday Party

Since Aunt Cindy wasn't here on Emily's actual birthday, we had to have a practice party. Emily got to open her presents from Aunt Cindy, and we had a practice cake.

Please, please help me caption this picture. Ellen's face is hilarious.

I taught Emily the ancient art of charcoal writing (learned from my father before me).

Daddy & Emily build a stick fence/fort thingie.

Attempted explanation: she played in the water and got her pants wet. So I took them off. Of course, she was wearing her mainly white undies. Which then also got wet. Then she sat in the sand. A lot. I'm sorry if this grossed anyone out, but it was somehow funny to me. Maybe it was the only emotion I could come up with.
