A Hidden Little Gem

A few weekends ago we decided we needed to get out the house and find something to do as a family.

I had heard our local museum had free admission so I figured we could go and grab a quick lunch and then take Jayla to the museum.

Now we live in a small town, there isn't a whole lot to do here. I mean, we don't we even have a Target. I know, I know, the horror!!! Now that you got that shock wave out of your system let's focus back on the museum.

I've lived in my town pretty much my whole life and I had never been to our museum and didn't think it was going to be much of any thing and it would probably take us 30 minutes to get through.

I was wrong! I was really surprised and kinda impressed by our little musuem. It's definitely a hidden little gem. It had 3 floors and took us almost 2 hours to go through the museum. It was also a lot more hands on then I would have thought. We all enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back again in the near future. 

 The picture on the bottom left was in the General Store area and it was wide open for you to look through. It had all sorts of ledgers and tabs on what people bought and who. There really didn't seem to be much organization to it but it was neat to look through. I wish it was organized a bit more to see if my husband's family was in it.

 They had a little dress up area which nut-nut loved! I wasn't too fond of this area. You just don't know when the last time those clothes were cleaned and how many people have worn them. Eww.

 She got the biggest kick out this thing. She couldn't believe how many of her there was! The downstairs area was really geared towards kids with a lot of hands on science activities. There was even a Wii down there for them to play with. We spent most of our time downstairs.

Makeover

My blog had a little makeover over the weekend! Isn't it adorable? I am absolutely tickled with it!
Sarah over at Fortune Favors the Brave hooked it up for me! She is seriously amazing! A little quiz and a few dozen emails back and forth this is what we came up with.
She was great to work with. She responded to all of my emails promptly. Even when I flooded her inbox with half a billion questions.
Head on over and check her out!!  

Third Wheel

Date night didn't go according to plan. It ended up being a semi-date night with a little third wheel.

Jayla got a little homesick and was ready to come home a little after lunchtime. She didn't sleep so well at Grandma's house and when she gets really tired, she just wants home. Can't blame the kid, there is nothing like home.

Once we got home, I turned on Alice in Wonderland and she knocked out pretty quickly. It was much needed, she was down right whiny. 
She woke up quite cranky and I was not dragging her out to dinner in such a foul mood.

Our date night turned into take out from a yummy local burger place in town and a movie at home with my little family.

Plans may not have panned out like they were suppose to but it was still a great night in with my little family.  

After Jayla went to bed, the hubbs and I watched Looper. I wouldn't recommend it.  

Finally Friday

It's finally Friday! Yay! It seriously felt like the weekend was taking it's sweet little time to get here.

I like Friday's, it's payday! Even if we are broke again by the end of the weekend. 

Friday mornings tend to be a little hectic between grocery shopping, paying bills, and trying to get the groceries all put away before I have to pick Jayla up from preschool. By the time I pick her up, I'm slap wore out!

Jayla is going to spend the weekend with grandma so mommy and daddy are going out on a date night this weekend! Woohoo! I love date night with my hubbs.

Saturday morning my bestie is having me take pictures of her and her whole family.When I say whole family, I mean the whole family. We are talking parents, brother, sister-in-law, the whole shebang.  A tad bit nervous about doing it. I am not a photographer, nor do I ever claim to be. I'm just a mom with a camera. Wish me luck on that adventure!

Here is a pic of my little nut-nut before we headed off to preschool this morning. Isn't she a doll? Love that girl to pieces

 

Hope ya'll have a great weekend! Any special plans for the weekend?
