COSI

Today was field trip day.  Our big field trip was to COSI today and the kids had a blast.  I had fun, but am now miserable and in pain.  Oh well, my kids are worth it.  Well, here are my photos.  Most of them are blurry faces and back shots of the kids.  I have better pics but I don't want to have clear pictures of my kids on the internet.  The drive to Columbus is rough, but worth it in the end.  Anyhow, enjoy!!

Looking in the aquariums at snakes, crayfish, frogs, fish, etc.  Too cool.

The mechanical dinosaur bones.  The kids could move a pulley to move the head and tail.

The older girls playing a game.  They were crazy people.

Two groups of kids watching the pendulum.  They were enthralled.  (My kids/staff are the ones in the bright tye dyed shirts.)

Making TV.  It was so cool, there was a green screen and the kids were doing all sorts of things. 

One of the kids on the high wire unicycle.  I hated this.  It was high and just looked scarey.  Its perfectly safe, but ugh.  I was terrified the entire time my kids were riding this.  They all did fine but, Miss April's heart was racing and my stomach was flipping.

Well, at least the day is over...

Today, as has been par for the course lately, was not my day.  A problem that began Saturday continued to get worse today and (wait for it) I ended up at the doctor's office.  What a surprise.  Well, not one of my regular doctors, but the Urgent Care.  Joy. 

So, a few x-rays, a knee support and a lot of pain later, this day will go down officially as miserable.  Ick.

Anyway, here's some photos from today (and one actually from yesterday.)  I'm going to attempt to go to bed now, but that probably isn't going to go well.  Ehh, what can ya do?

This is my photo from yesterday.  I bought Duke a pack of treats (on sale) and he devoured one of them.  Seriously, seconds and it was gone!  Must have been yummy dried meat. (Insert puking noise from me.  Meat is icky.)

I really wish this shot would have come out better.  Imagine 5 of these driers tossing their clothes about.  Each drier  is filled with a different color of tye dyed t-shirts.  All bright and pretty.  It was so cool, and the shot sucked. 

Tye Dyed T-Shirts.  I love tye dye (there will be more blogging about this in the near future).  I made there for my kiddos at work for tomorrow.  We go on our big field trip to COSI tomorrow and I always have the kids wear tye dyed shirts for our big trip.  80 shirts this year, not bad.  And we will be so rockingly (yeah, its a new word) awesome.

Leg, in a brace.  Stupid knee.  And tomorrow is the biggest field trip of the year.  Had to call a sub in to take my spot for the trip.  I'll still be going, I'll just be stationed in a set spot in case trouble arises.  I really want to cry thinking about missing out on this day of fun.  I'll be there, but won't be in on all the great adventures through the fun with my kids.  Very sad.  :(
