Discovery Science Place - May 2, 2009

Astronaut Ben and his alien friends

I thought this giant kaleidoscope was really cool,
the boys were unimpressed though

Josey in the cave

Now this they were very impressed with until Josey said
"It's blowing it up with air, that's all"
To which Ben replied "lame" then they went on to something else

Ben sends a ball down the coaster

Jakers loved this spiral ball thingy

He would've played with this all day

Ben checking out the magnetic/not magnetic table

Ben and I were having a clumsy day, 5 is the most dominos

we got to stay up at a time

He is saying "ummm..freaky"

Josey runs to go cover the news

Josey watching Ben do the cooking show

I was doing it till he downgraded me to the news,

then made me read from a script at that

Jake the newscaster

I think Ben was the better producer,

He didn't roll his eyes at me once

Jakers the Fireman

Jakers buying some fresh plastic produce

Jakers looks over the babies in the nursery

Ben in the Hardware Store

Josey buys some groceries from these 2 heathen kids

They were robbing the grocery store because the

bank was temporarily shut down

but they stopped to check out Josey's groceries

Nice lil robbers eh?

Of course the Vet's office was Ben's favorite part

He wants Adam to build some animal cages

and a sink and counter in his room for him

Josey checks out his dog's x-ray

Ben makes his dog's diagnoses

(he needed a bath, he had "way bad fleas")

Josey - a pilot with a crutch running away from the ambulance

I have no idea.

Ben flying to the North Pole

Jakers at the sand table - "mine!"

Pilot Ben

Pilot Josey in the doctor's office

Ben filling out a birth certificate in the nursery

"Money!" I don't think he knows what its for, but he likes it A LOT

Ben chugs some fake grape juice

It took his so long to arrange this fruit tray just so, right

after I took this picture Jacob came and snatched the pineapple

and replaced it with the burger he'd been carrying around

Haha, Jakers in a doggy pen

Hey wait a minute, this isn't funny

Jakers on the bird bridge

Easter Morning

So the night before Easter Josey and Ben start talking about where

they think the Easter Bunny will hide the clues this year. Um, yeah,

I forgot all about that so after they FINALLY went to bed I was

up at like midnight making up clues. Here they are:

I hope you have a Happy Easter

That is my WISH

The first clue is next to the ____ (fish)

The next clue is easier then you THINK

It's in the kitchen, under the ___ (sink)

The next one's in the bahtroom

I hope that doesn't SPOIL IT

It's hiding in there

behind the ____ (toilet)

The next clue is hiding

out of SIGHT

Behind your mama's

favorite movie ____ (Twilight)

(FYI my favorite movie is actually Willy Wonka but what rhymes with Wonka eh?)

The next one's so easy

Rub-a-dub-DUB

It's in the ___ (tub)

I hope ya'll had fun

But now you need to go your own way,

Josey - clue B, Ben - clue A

Clue B - Go into your room and if you are ABLE

Find your basket under the train ___ (table)

Clue E - This one is really very EASY

Who lives in a pineapple under the ___ (sea = Jake's room)

I only have one picture of the clue finding because Josey had on no shirt

and would so not be amused if I had pictures of him "naked"

Somewhere in the midst of emptying his basket Ben lost his glasses case - tragic

The boys have been wanting to make a garden so mostly the Easter
Bunny brought outside toys and gardening stuff

Josey inspects his seeds


Jake woke up, hugged his Spongebob ball from
his basket, then crashed on the couch

Easter Party - April 10, 2009

We decided to forgo the (lame) courthouse egg hunt and make

our own lil' egg hunt this year. We made bunny puppets,

played Pin the Tail on the Bunny, went on down along

The Bunny Trail to play games and earn Bunny Money,

hunted eggs, spent the Bunny Money in The Bunny Hut

had lunch and then just played. Ben said it was

"the best day of my life" so I think it went pretty well.
