Love notes

I found this little note tucked in my purse the other day. It's a little hard to see, but it says I love (heart) you mom. You'll have to turn your head to really see it, but it just melts my heart into a puddle of goo.

Ps this is Amelia's handiwork.

Fancy signatures

Recently I asked William to sign his name on a birthday card for someone. He went all out for this person! He also went ahead and signed Gemma's name as well. I think it is so sweet! Even if it got a little mixt up.

Take me out to the ball game

Recently the St. Louis cardinals have been doing well and they went to the World Series. Amelia's dance teacher came up with a cute dance for the girls to cheer on the team. Can you believe they ( baseball team) didn't win?

Guess who?

Guess who likes gold?
Doesn't have a favorite sport?
Likes hamburger pizza?
Like the movie ice age (and based this on a 22 minute viewing while he got his teeth cleaned)?
Likes the game called stack the countries?
Wants to be a paleontologist when they grow up?

Any guesses?

Accessories make the outfit

Don't they? More is always better, right?

Missouri Town 1855

After wrapping things up at the Trex Cafe, we had one more stop to make on the way home. There were two living history museums in the area and we love living history. Someone else fields the kids' questions and we all learn something. Win/win.

Missouri Town 1855 is a collection of buildings from Missouri. Most have been moved from other parts of this state to this Town (as far as I know, none of the buildings were original). They had buildings from as far back as 1830. Sadly, only 2 reinactors were working. However, we still had copious questions and got lots of really good information. We wandered around to the 10-15 buildings on the property and enjoyed the mild weather. A little more than an hour later, we were ready to hit the road back home again.
