Life’s Little Moments

Tax Time

We did our taxes this weekend. Well, we didn’t, but our tax guy did. It’s always nice to know that you’re getting a refund. What was even nicer was to know that we are getting back money from the state taxes, too. It’s never really a lot of money, but it is better than having to pay!

Children’s Museum

On Sunday, I took the kids to the Children’s Museum in Flint. The last time I was there was with my two older boys when they were about 2 and 6. They’ve really changed it up and I was impressed.

There is an area that is all done up like you are under water. This reading room had an otter that Ella loved.

They improved the dental area a bit. Andrew had to show me the “tooth that had a cavity, but is now worth a lot of money.”

There is an area that has to be new, because I don’t remember it. It’s a pizzeria. Ella tried her hand at making pizzas.

The store that they had there is still around, but it has been redone. It is much better now. Andrew had to run the cash register for folks.

It was a fun afternoon. They each got a stuffed orca. Ella actually surprised me by calling it an orca! I have no idea where she learned that! We’ll be going back again.

Still to Come

Ella is excited because this Saturday is the Daddy Daughter Dance. She’s got a new dress and new shoes. I’ve gotta see if I can fit in my pants after taking all those steroids! If not, it’s gonna be a trip up to the store so I can look nice for my girl. I cannot wait for our special night.

She is also excited because her birthday is less than a week away!! She will be turning 5 on Monday. I have the day off and we will be celebrating her all day.
