How things work

Today at the Children's Museum with Yasha and Eden, Xander was all about the water table and the construction zone.  Every question about... everything, really... is, "How does it work?"

Even the Netflix favorites Dinosaur Train and SuperWhy have been replaced.  Now it's onto Netflix documentaries and YouTube videos of excavators, car motors, fire extinguishers, you name it.  Here are a few of Xander's favorites:




All About Construction on Netflix

How It's Made on the Discovery Channel, also Netflix.  His favorites are bread and cheese.

(Oh yes, and Yael and I just bought new Museum memberships and split the discount - buy one get the second one at 50% - with the promise to go with each other at least once a month.  It's boring to go by ourselves and just watch the kids play, and Saturdays are hectic.  But if we go Sunday mornings when it opens at 11, everyone's still at church - or at the very least not there - so it only gets crowded by 1pm when we leave).

Speaking of construction, the $5 red Craigslist pick-up truck has been our best purchase ever.


                                           

     Here Bunny wanted to go for a ride.

                                           

Next up was Ari.  Danyul's making sure he doesn't tip over.

Jonathan is showing Xander "how sewing surgery works" by fixing Dragon's toe, which came unraveled.  And as everyone knows, true surgery can only be performed while wearing a space hat.

And this has nothing to do with anything, but it's a cute picture, so here it is.  Me on date night.  The outfit was completed with a black slit pencil skirt and knee-high boots. :)
