My kids had a blast during train week. Hands down, their favorite thing, was using trains to paint. We put paint on our paper and then used the wheels of the trains to run it across the paper. The paintings were all so different and the kids had a blast with it. They also loved their conductor uniforms and the ride in to Austin on the metro. Definitely a fun week for us! Even Ty joined in by setting up different train track areas in the house for the little kids.

While the coffee pot was a bust (other than the pitcher which is the head on Taryn’s robot), the VCR was a gold mine for parts. As was an old clock radio. The nose on Jonah’s bot is from an old Nintendo […]

About 30 seconds after we walked in the aquarium Taryn puts her hand in the water (allowed and encouraged), a blowfish bites her finger! She pulls her hand out,the fish didn’t let go and comes flying out of the water and hits the ground. Taryn is crying hysterically because her finger hurts and it scared her, the fish is flopping all around on the floor, crazy! A worker walks over, scoops up the fish and plops it back in the […]
