Corrie's b-day

She had a big fun-filled day! We took turns (well, tried) with her new swing, wheelbarrow and dirt digging tools, wagon rides, and this floam stuff: The real homemade strawberry cake and frosting. The strawberries made them both pink! Yumm..

Happy Birthday, Corrie!

Corrie is 3 years old today :o We're celebrating tomorrow. I'm leaving Skype on tonight and tomorrow (Sat.) so if you want to call and say happy birthday, our handle is 'powell365' :)She chipped her tooth last week on the sidewalk (ouch!) and you can see it in this "cheesy" pic.

Children's museum at Indy

We finally made it down to Indy for the children's museum. Half of it was under construction, so it seemed a bit overpriced to me.. but Corrie had fun. I didn't get the camera out much, but here are a few.
Here was the couch potato in the 'healthy house'. She liked all the plastic play food in the kitchen, with a life sized fridge and table.
Mary just looked around most of the time :) She got a really good nap in, though.
There was a huge water table area, and a sand play area:
The main attraction (until the Egyptian exhibit opens) is the dinosphere. Here is Corrie on a 'dig':
They supposedly have a parade at the end of the day, but this time it was the hokey pokey. This was a nice break from her running-in-circles "dance"! (You really should click on the 'HQ' and view in High Quality. Tip: press play, then press HQ, then hit pause, let it buffer for a minute, then press play again)

Photos by Corrie

We've taken hundreds of pics and clips of her by now... and now she wants to give it a try. Not only do these serve as a trip through our house through the eyes of a two-year-old, but it's interesting to see what she chooses to photograph. Here's what happens when she runs around with the camera:
