Playing office

I use to do this all the time as a kid and loved it.  JJ and Emma have never done it.  So I was so excited to find these two playing office.   They played for hours.  Next time maybe they can play "clean the office".  That office is a mess.  

Baby its cold outside

What do you do when the weather outside is frightful. 

You with play everything you possibly can and the best part is mom loves blocks and Lincoln logs.  They know I will play those with them.  Barbies...not so much.

 Emry even got in on the action.

 When I said it is bitter cold outside I was not kidding

Ellie had the week off of school and I wanted to something more than just watch Hannah Montana.  It rained almost the entire time she had off so Hannah was a big part of our little break.  I laid in bed and thought about it long and hard and Tree House Museum seemed like a likely choice.  I had to stop and my moms to pick up a coupon for the Museum.  David was there and I asked if he would go with me.  I was so glad when he said yes.  Little did I know how glad I was.  I quickly remembered why I don't go many places anymore.  Ellie just takes off an she is quick and stealth like.  She was at the top of her game today.  She ran out of sight the moment we got there.  David was a HUGE help to me with her and Elsie.

This was the girls favorite part of the Tree House Museum.  The tree.  They spent half the time running up and down the stairs, climbing the wall, and hiding from us.  Silly littles. 

I loved watching them play with everything.  It is a very interactive play area.  

The girls served us cake in the playhouse

Ellie knew that in Japan you eat on the floor.

David read the story from Argentina. 

Ellie got on the horse by herself.  Notice her placement on the saddle.  Oops missed.

They loved the school.  In the one pic Ellie has a look on her face like "Ya, I totally know how to do this."

The girls loved the doctors office.  

The firetruck was a favorite spot.

But nothing beat the train ticket station.  Ellie kept returning.

Look at that smile.  She was thrilled to give tickets to us.

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party.

Who is Ellie?

Where do my girls get their cheesy smile...hmmmm

This is my favorite picture of the day.

Thanks David for coming with us.  David finally came up with Elsie's new nickname.  He now calls her squeaks.  Ha, that makes me laugh.  It totally fits.
