We had lots of fun events this weekend.
First, Jack went to Niamh's fifth birthday party on Saturday morning. The party was at Make, a store where you can create your own stuff - paint ceramics, mix candles, mix glass, and lots other stuff. Niamh had selected two projects for her party: a picture frame and a ceramic. It took a few minutes, but Jack got into in and had a great time. He was sitting at the boy end of the table and got to watch two of Niamh's friends play. I think it's good for him to see how slightly older boys play and cut loose.
Today, we spent a part of the morning at the Children's Museum. The boys have been many times, but this is the first time I've gone. We arrived shortly after it opened, so it wasn't too crazy, but there were still a lot of people there. (I guess crazy is relative to your location, non-NYCers would probably have thought that it was packed!). Jack was beyond excited. He pointed it out on the street and then ran right in when we arrived. The boys did their own things so it can be a bit tough keeping up with both of them - I'd have them both in sight and then one would disappear - but somehow it worked and it wasn't too stressful. They had a blast playing with all the different areas and running around.

Working on his picture frame
Now on to a piggy bank
Kind of creepy slide - but they loved it
Driving a bus together
"Sharing" in the firetruck
Figuring out a table of puzzles
Sand, sand, sand
and more sand
