Where Has the Time Gone?

Lately, trying to keep up with our postings is a challenge! I finally decided the disaster of a house, the dirty dishes, and the pile of laundry can wait and I'll post some pictures. My one and only chance to clean is during Belle's nap, but at this point I'm starting to wonder why I even bother cleaning because it seems the mess just reappears in about 2 seconds. Hmmm....I guess that's what happens when you have a 15 month old running around?? Eh, our child is way more important and fun than keeping up with the house.

A couple weeks ago, Belle and I went to the Children's Museum. All I was thinking was, "Could this please be my basement!!" It was the GREATEST place for Belle to play and she loved every second of it. There was so much to do, she wasn't sure which direction to go.

We started at the fire truck which was pretty fascinating for her. She just recently started making the fire truck siren sound which is pretty cute. She was a little uncertain about the hat, though.

After that, we went to the toddler room where I couldn't keep up with her.
Climbing through the logs....

Inside the cabin trying the bunk beds out...Making some lunch in the kitchen.....

Riding the boat and catching the cool magnetic fish with a fishing pole...She and this little boy had so much fun together. This is the pond where they both kept rolling over the animals and laughing....
Puppet show time...
Walking over the bridge (about 80 times)....

There was much, much more, but I gave up on the photos because I couldn't keep her still long enough to get a shot. To say the least, she loved the museum and we will definitely be going back. Just yesterday, Belle went with Nana and Grandpa to the Natural History Museum. From what I hear, she had as much fun there as she did at the Children's Museum. We like that she is getting into the discovery of arts and sciences!

And to end things, here are some photos of the gals being the crazy gals they are. Boy, do they love each other. (I don't know if Belle is trying to act like Sierra, or if Sierra is trying to be like Belle. They were both rolling all over the floor on their backs. It was pretty hilarious).Sierra getting spoiled by her little sister and acting as if she doesn't get enough already.
