A Day in the Life

You know how it is: the holidays are over, family has gone home, and meals no longer consist of 5,000 calories worth of stuffing and pie. Life goes back to normal. And normal for us looks something like this...


Our daughter - minus pants, as always - jumping on the couch, hair standing on end, gleefully wielding the drink she swiped from me a moment before. Normal.

With the new year we have also discovered a new favorite pastime. The Denver Children's Museum is a colorful, educational mecca disguised as a room full of tree houses, playhouses, games, puzzles, and even a "garden" where kids can plant pretend veggies. Ava loves every minute of it, and I can't think of a better way for kids to spend an afternoon.


Fabulous.

An another note, have any of you parents ever wished there was some children's music in existence that didn't make you want to fling yourself into traffic? (Sorry, Wiggles. You're annoying.) If so, I have two words for you: Philadelphia Chickens. Google it and take a listen. You won't be sorry. Sung by the likes of Meryl Streep and Eric Stolz, it's fun, snappy, and will have you dancing and singing along right away. No valium required. Oh, and the kids will love it too.

Happy Thursday!
