Day with Novie

Today we had a fun day with my great-aunt Novie. She came over and took the kids and me out to lunch at our usual spot..Olive Garden. We planned to go to the children's museum in Houston, but by the time we got there, we saw a line that was the length of the building. We took one look at that line and decided to find something else to do. Not to mention we were on the brink of mutiny in the backseat with declarations of it being the worst spring break ever coming from Allie. We tossed around lots of ideas and ended up deciding to come back to the Woodlands and going to the children's museum in the mall. We ended up getting a little turned around downtown and spent quite a while driving in circles until we finally found an entrance to the freeway. Poor Colton gave up and fell asleep. The good news is that Allie finally lost her front tooth that she has been working on FOREVER while we were driving aimlessly. Anyway, we finally made it back to the other museum which is only 15 min from my house, but by this time took us 2 hours to get to....it was quite comical. Colton had a blast digging for dinosaurs and then cooking vegetables in the tool chest....Rob would be less than pleased that he thought it was a microwave instead of somewhere for the tools....but Novie and I thought it was cute! Allie found out that she has outgrown this museum and was a little perplexed as to what to do, but she eventually had fun playing restaurant and serving us dinner. By the time we left the museum it was dinner time so we headed over to Chick-fil-a to eat. All in all, it was a great day! THANKS NOVIE!!
