We joined some of our friends from MOPS for a fun outing this morning. After making everyone miss the train because I couldn’t find the station and sweating on the platform for 20 or 30 minutes, we were off to downtown. We had a yummy lunch, took in the Dallas Museum of Art and another train ride. The day was lots of fun. But, I have to be honest, any place where the only two rules are: Don’t touch ANYTHING and don’t RUN, is hard to take small boys. However, I do think they are smarter and more cultured just for having been there. Thanks Monica and Jennifer! Let’s do it again.

That is what I googled this morning after I found several frozen eggs in the carton. Apparently the way back of my fridge gets really cold. I went to crack one and it was frozen solid inside. The next one was already cracked from expansion and I had to run it under water to get the shell to come off. They took a little while to thaw in the bowl so that I could scramble them but all in all they tasted exactly the same to me. As for my google search, technically you are supposed to scramble them before freezing, but I just didn’t tell the eggs that.

We had a fun filled family weekend that included our AC breaking on Friday afternoon. It’s still not working on the bedroom side of the house. Before you get too worried, we are surviving and finding ways to stay cool. Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon. Anyway, amidst all of our celebrating, we discussed the significance of the day and the kid’s responses were surprising.

Usually when watching a video, the kids go practically comatose, melting into the sofa cushions and only blinking when the end credits start rolling. But this is kind of a new TV watching position.
