Brandon's First Trip to COSI

In Columbus, Ohio there is a place called The Center of Science and Industry (COSI). It is an interactive science museum where kids can have fun and learn about the world them at the same time. It's pretty fun for parents, too! :) We took a road trip there a couple of weekends ago. The girls had a blast, both rode the high-wire unicycle and got their hair mussed up in the wind tunnel. Even though Brandon wasn't really old enough to understand what he was seeing, he was fascinated by everything. The space exhibit had a small remote controlled lunar lander that flew around the ceiling and he loved watching it buzz around. Poor little guy missed the last exhibit hall because he fell asleep. We'll have to take him back to it when he's a few years older.

The scientific notation paper and ribbon element are from the kit "Nerdy by Nature" from this blog.

Finally Finding Time to Blog Again...

Going back to work was hard, even though I knew it was best for my family. But even though it means bills paid on time and more money for fun stuff, it also means less time with the people I love and doing the things I love. It's getting less hectic now that the new routine has been established, so I've found little bits of time here and there when I can work on my scrapping hobby. :)

My girls are both in band, Brittnie plays the sax and Amanda plays trombone (it's almost as long as she is tall!) They had a concert back in January and Amanda had to wear a formal dress for her part of the show. I always enjoy helping her get ready for things like this and she looks so beautiful that I can't help taking a few pictures! :) 

The kit is Tragedic Opera which can be purchased here.
