It's only just begun...

The school year, that is. Margaret Anne is back to daycare full time starting today, as I have MUCH work to do in my room before school officially begins on Thursday. We decided to have our last "school's out" playdate with Jamie, Charlie, Elaine, and Andrew at the McWane Science Center. So after a full day of working in my room (AND getting new tires and brakes, eek!), we met everyone at McWane. I kind of wondered how it would go, but I think the babies and mommies liked it equally. PLUS teachers tour free at McWane, so all I had to pay for was parking, and you can't beat that! We began our visit at the entrance to the adventure halls:

Then, we made our way to the "Tot Spot," which was part of the "Itty Bitty Magic City" for little kids. Here Andrew was allowed to get some energy out, and let me tell you that sweet boy has a lot of energy. He provided lots of entertainment for mommies and babies alike!

Margaret Anne thought he was SO entertaining...

And so did Charlie! At one point Andrew came at Margaret Anne like he was going to kiss her, but knocked her over when she didn't to surrender to his advances. He then barreled over to her stroller and knocked it over and yelled "If I can't have her, no one can!" Well, maybe that last part didn't happen, but he did try to kiss her and knock over her stroller. She doesn't stay angry for long though.

These two are BFF's!

Playing in the blocks...

We then made our way to the "Grocery Store." Margaret Anne wanted to check out...

Next stop: "Ocean Adventure" Class. Andrew and Charlie touched a sea urchin. MA wasn't quite ready for that, she shook her head "no."

Our last stop was the Shark and Ray Touch Tank. We just looked though, no touching yet!

Thanks for a great playdate, friends!!! Let's do it again soon, unfortunately it will have to be on a Saturday!
