Little Leonardo's @ The Perot Museum

First and foremost, Parker woke without a fever!  You all may think I am weird and off my rocker when I say this but I swear by it.....Parker tends to run a fever when he is very tired and is not getting good sleep.  I was really afraid that he was coming down with the flu.  Not only because I immediately go to the worst place possible but also because the flu is going around at school.  

Now, onto the fun stuff from today!  As you know, we've done Scribbles & Dribbles several times since Parker was a year old.  Now that he is three, he can attend the Little Leonardo's class.  This class combines art and science together for a great experience :)  Today was our first day and the theme for this semester is Dinosaurs:

 Making a dinosaur out of clay....see the details in the teeth, long tail and big head :)

 "D" is for dinosaur and for those who know Spanish, you can read the second sentence!


And the lovely Ms. Margie reading "Dinosaurs Love Underpants".

Lacing!

Eating a GIANT cookie after lunch :)


There is an exhibit across from the children's play area which displays all of the blueprints, before/after pictures, etc. of the museum while being built.  There is an area where you can write down on a post-it note what you like about the museum and so forth.  Sooooo, Parker wanted to write down that he" likes the children's part and the bathrooms" :)  Oh to be three!

And last but not least, the sand area.  Outside. In the cold.  Brrrr!  I let him play until his hands were so cold he couldn't feel them!

After FIVE hours of being at the museum, we collected our gift shop purchases, coats and tired legs and went home :)  He fell asleep in the car on the way home and so I sat in the car, in the garage and surfed the web ;)  Our evening was complete with dinner at Mi Cocina (which is a rare eating place for us!) and a soccer kick-off.

Thankful that we are all well tonight and {happy, happy, happy} that tomorrow is suppose to be beautiful!!!
