When pigs fly...and other scientific stuff like that

My Best Shot for this past Monday, was a shot taken at Jo's after we hung with pals at the Austin Children's Museum...what's super cool is that we went on No Tour Tuesday....no bus loads of kids running round :) well, here's more about the day:

They had a whole huge transportation thing going that Mia just LOVED...she drove a train or was it a bus? and tested out which surface was faster. Mia was not one to be close to friends that morning..she was a girl on the MOVE. We went upstairs where she used a pulley system to make a pig fly and then hooked up some cool Tinkertoy style shapes. They have an art room that Mia also took advantage of :)

Then we heard over the speaker...'Storytiiiiime' We made a mad dash downstairs and got pretty good seats. Oh my, was the storyteller fabulous. They sang songs with a duck puppet, listened to the storyteller tell three stories with much enthusiasm...and then got stickers! Super fun!

We finally hooked up with our pals and headed off to Jo's for a yummy lunch. No Tour Tuesday happens on the first Tuesday of each month...we've got it on our calendar!

Outta Mama's Bag

Last week, I joined some O'Mamas & their kiddos for No Tour Tuesday at the Austin Children's Museum...what? no tours? Not PACKED with kids and teachers? It was AWESOME! Our kids got to explore everything and we mamas got to relax a little...even when a tot went out of our sight for a bit :)

Then a short walk for lunch on the patio at Jo's...Mmmmm the BEST cheeseburger & fries. Next time you're in downtown Austin, you MUST try them out. Ok, so we waited a bit.. it always seems longer when you have hungry kids. What do seasoned mamas do in this type of situation?...dig deep into their bags, and pull out objects of desire. In my case, I made two dreidels appear...from our learning about Hanukkah playdate last December :) Lora delivered a sleek blue car. I soon want to blog about all the things that can be found in my mama bag of wonders, but until then, I'll leave you with my Best Shot....a cup of watered down pink lemonade, two dreidels and a car...all that helped make our wait for some tasty cheeseburgers bearable.
