FREE weekend

Yeah for free stuff (which I know I have been known to tell my girls nothing is for free)- but we found some here.

Yesterday we went to Dinosaur Ridge- way cool! Got to see preserved dinosaur tracks and bones along the mountain. It was awesome. My girls must have been praying on our walk back- because the nice lady who drove the trolley thought they looked really tired and offered us a free ride back. Now I would have been fine walking the rest as it was all downhill (where was she for the way up?!) but the girls squealed with excitement.

Went to our new church and had a movie night with FREE popcorn and invitied our gregarious 9 yr old neighbor- who is big sis's new best friend. Boy is she a talker and a giggler- they really are polar opposites. She stated as we were driving off that she is the newest member of our family as she went hiking with us last weekend too. She is great because she does provide some comic relief in a slightly serious family.

Today, the final day of our FREE weekend, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science and it was SOOO awesome. They had a special FREE fiesta day and got to make crafts and listen to music. The exhibits were so awesome and hands on. They got to see a real lung dissected and to see a healthy lung vs. a smokers lung. Hopefully they won't forget that one!!! The dioramas and the collections they have are absolutely amazing.

Tomorrow the girls have testing and then we are going to visit an animal adoption agency in hopes of beginning our dog search! Fun! Fun!

Finally finished all of my room painting projects and now hope to have my 2nd interview for the job I am interested in, so I can resume REAL life again.
