Day at the Museum

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I wanted to post more pictures of Isabelle on here. Alan doesn’t download the pictures off the camera so unless they are on my blog or I show him, he doesn’t get to see them. Well you’ve seen how well that’s been going. :)

Even after Isabelle got back to her happy little normal self, I haven’t been in the mood to write or to even look through pictures. But today is different. We finally got around to taking our monthly family picture, over a week late, and I had to go through THEM ALL.

So, here are pictures from this weekend. We went to the Oakland museum with my friend Veronica to eat cake!
Cake!

No. Just kidding. They did have cake there but we went to look at wildflowers. Here’s the description from their site, “Celebrate the coming of spring with California’s diverse wildflowers at the annual Wildflower Show. Create a child-sized flower bouquet, compose a mini-terrarium, check out the vital role of bees as pollinators, and more!“. I was looking forward to making a terrarium with Isabelle. I’ve been wanting to make a terrarium since at least February 13th. How can I be so exact on the date? Because that’s when I took this picture:
Look what Isabelle did with the empty jar
See how Isabelle filled it with what she wanted, her toys and a partly eaten cookie? :) It’s been sitting empty since then.

Yeah, so that’s the main thing I wanted to do, make a terrarium. And wouldn’t you know it, we didn’t get around to doing it. So what did we do instead? We looked at wildflowers. Me and Veronica laughed like little kids at the funny names of the plants like this one:
Funny names for plants

Still gives me a giggle.

And what else did we do? Make a paper flower hat!! A little hat made out of PAPER!! (You can click on each picture individually to see it larger)

Add some paper flowersTa da!!! A paper flower hat!

It was a little challenging. Isabelle didn’t understand at first why we were putting this big piece of paper on her head. She kept ducking out of the way. I’m so glad Veronica was there to help take pictures. We needed both pairs of hands to get the paper on Isabelle.

And here is Isabelle showing it off when we were taking our monthly family picture today.

So yeah…let’s see when I’m in the mood to post again. Hopefully it’ll be soon.
