The boys and I made plans to go on a field trip today. We thought we would go to the Children's Museum and invited my Mom.We get everything planned and I checked on-line this morning to see what road I exit from I-70.
Guess what? The Children's Museum is closed on Mondays in the winter. Ah, That stinks! So I call my Mom. She suggested the Children's Museum in Muncie- Great idea! Not! They, too, are closed on Monday. Wilbur Wright Museum- no go.
So I asked the boys "What do you want to do?"
"Play a board game, go out to eat and see a movie."
O.k. we can handle that.
I check movie times and we decided on Hoodwinked. We are all set, good to go.
I double check movie times and It has changed- they had left the Saturday times up and the next showing wasn't until 5:30. Ok, by now I am just a little bit irritated, mostly with myself, but irritated no less.
So I check movies 8 and they have Chicken Little playing- everyone is o.k. with that so we head out.
The movie only cost us $.50 a person and we all loved it.
The boys both had fun and my Mom and I just enjoyed getting to spend the day together.
Our day didn't turn out as we planned, but we i think the end result was the same. we got to spend time together and enjoy each others company.
So next time we plan something it will NOT be on Monday- Maybe the weekend was just too rough and no one could cope come Monday morning!
( BTW- the picture is of us at the St. Louis Arch. That is if anyone noticed and was wondering where that was at the Children's Museum!)

look how little the boys look!!!! everyone has had some sun! i'm glad you were able to work around the obstacles thrown at you today; it reminds me of when satan tries to attack us, but because we have an ultimate goal (in your case: having a fun day) we are determined to get there!! and with a lot of hard work, we achieve what we set out to do!
Well, I'm glad your day turned out fun, despite all of the dissappointments. I didn't think that picture was from Monday, becasue I KNOW you're not crazy enough to dress your entire family in shorts when the temp is only 25* outside.
Better luck on your next field trip.
love you,
Amy
