Children's Museum

On Wednesday, we went to the Children's Museum in Dallas with Aidan's friend Ashley and her mom. It was no where near as extensive as the Children's Museums in other cities we have visited but it was a nice diversion for a rainy day. Aidan was excited to the see the dinosaurs. He kept reminding himself that 'dinosaurs not scary'.

Water Park

Today was the coolest day of the Dallas summer so far (about 75 degrees in the morning) so what did we do? We went to the water park. We had some passes to use before the end of the season so today was our last chance to go as a family. It was a little chilly at first but the sun came out in the afternoon. Aidan was so brave and tried out all the water slides in the kids area. As soon as he got to the bottom of a slide he was ready to go back up.

Muffin Man

This morning Aidan made us blueberry muffins for breakfast. He enjoyed putting the muffin papers into the 'muffin holes' as he called them. He even broke the eggs himself. Darren had to pick some shell out of the bowl but he did pretty well.

Thud

Darren & I were just getting into bed Thursday night, when we heard a crash from upstairs. This is where we found Aidan and he was still fast asleep.

Aidan's funny comments of the day II

Aidan and I were playing in a pile of pillows and talking about how some were filled with feathers and some with cotton. Later, when Aidan went to take a nap he informed that his pillow 'is full of manicotti'.

Also, I am not sure where he picked it up but he is constantly saying 'do you want to join us'. For example, if he and Darren are playing a game and I walk in the room he will say 'do you want to join us'.

Aidan's funny comment of the day

Aidan has come up with some really funny things lately. Tonight, we were sitting on the couch watching the Olympics and he announced that he 'hatched out of a chicken's egg from a mommy bird'. OK, not really sure how to respond to that one. Yesterday he told me that while he was in the church nursery 'a big bear came in 'mine' room and brought Oreos and chocolate'. I wasn't there so maybe it really did happen. I love his imagination.

Making Pizza

Aidan's friend, Ashley, came over on Tuesday to play. The kids made us pizza fur lunch. Yummy!
