Dress Up!

There is a small children's museum here called the Hands-On-House. In February, while the boys were in school, my sister and I took our girls. We only stayed two hours but we had a lot of fun. The girls were NOT ready to leave.

Ainsley also had her birthday party there 10 days ago. She invited several girls from her preschool class and her dance class. One of the favorite rooms in the museum is the dress-up room. It's also the best for taking pictures. Here are a some photos from the two visits.

It's not just the kids who get to dress up either!!
Here are all of Ainsley's friends from the party. They all dressed up and sang into a giant flower that was their microphone. They sang us the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle. Everyone in the room clapped and cheered - even those not with our group. It was really cute, but hard to get a picture that wasn't blurry - these girls were always on the move!


Here we have our medieval heroes.











Here's our little giraffe.













She had a crush on this big parrot!


Silly Boys!


The girls also had fun in the machine shop. They have an assembly line and you have to add each thing to the project until it is complete. Piper enjoyed stacking these "star thingies" (yes, that's what they call them).


You'll also notice a lot of face paint. There is a face painting station that my kids LOVE. They like doing it themselves and coming up with new creations. Except Kamden - she would not touch the stuff! At Ainsley's party she painted her whole face gold and shimmery. Then she had me add whiskers - she wanted to be a tiger but she looked more like a bronze goddess. MacGregor on the other hand - LOVES to do camouflage and does it every time. Here he is mid-bubble.
