Saturdays when we are not house-hunting:)

We've almost graduated to doing somewhat normal Saturday things. Our kids are long overdue for some things like learning to ride a bike. We got new tubes for the little kids. The big boys got bikes for Christmas. Matt sold my bike in the interim homelessness so it won't be a complete family affair but it's ok because Alena and Sam won't be sailing along for a while. We "rode" along the canal to the park and back.

Matt does NOT like helpers but Brig is an awefully cute helper. He helps make the job very long and arduous. Take a bolt off, immediately loose said bolt. I get a bit of satisfaction when Matt gets a taste of what every minute of my day is like (except that he's not around for me to say "Matt! Come get Brigham.").

Alena needed lots of snack breaks.

An of course, there had to be a snake in the canal. Matt had to show off the snake and Brigham's heart was broken because not only did mom NOT take him down into the canal, dad did not let him have the snake to play with.

Poor, poor Briggy.

Last weekend we got to enjoy the NASA Space Center. President's Day deal-buy one ticket get the next for a Quarter. SWEET!
(THANK YOU SHAUNA K!)

We didn't get very many pictures. We should've taken a picture of our yummy lunch too. We recommend a great pizza place called Pomodoros very near the Space Center if you aren't having lunch with an astronaut which also sounds like fun.

My dear sweet daughter has a VERY naughty habit of dashing off even after she's told that "No. She may not go back into the playplace again." We had quite a lost child scare. She ran off (intentionally) no less than 3 times before we packed her into the car crying and called it a day.
