Play Street Museum

Evie and I joined some photography friends at Play Street Museum, the coolest kids activity place.  At this particular location, the area was laid out like a little town; miniature homes and buildings set up just like the real thing, all decked out for open-ended and imaginative play!  Everything was top-notch, with the best toys and materials for her play with.  We were there for over three hours and she would've stayed longer if we hadn't had to go pick Sam up from school.

She had so much fun in the play house, feeding the babies and putting them to bed I thought she'd never try the other areas.  Then she found the Kroger!  She was able to buy Evie-sized groceries with an Evie-sized cart, and she even got to play cashier for the other little shoppers.  

It took me a while, but I was able to coax her into the mini-Kenny's Burger diner.  Once we were inside she had fun making me burgers and banana splits.

We finished our time here with some playtime at the moon sand table.  This was the first time either of us had played with moon sand and it was so neat.  We made all kinds of shapes and just squished it through our fingers over and over.  Play Street Museum made for an awesome morning of play - we'll go back soon, for sure!

Pizza for Pops

It was fun celebrating Pops's birthday in downtown Denton at our favorite pizza joint, J&Js, and our favorite bookstore, Recycled Books & Records.  The pizza was awesome, as always.  Evie enjoyed a little of it under her mountain of parmesan cheese.  

Gram and Pops let Sam and Evie choose some books.  Sam went right for the section on states and presidents.  He chose a book called The Remarkable Ronald Reagan.  Come to find out, that day, February 6th, would have been President Reagan's 105th birthday!  Perfect choice!

Evie's currently obsessed with Golden Books, so she chose this version of Sleeping Beauty along with a Margaret Wise Brown bunny Golden Book.

Thanks for the books, Pops!  And happy birthday!
