barn burnin'

oooo....she is at it again!!!! another post....look out!!!

so this morning we met aidan and warren at the park. the boys played or a while and the we went to the CCHM. I don't know when it was actually started the museum, but it was around when i was a kid. but we never went there. it was even just a mile and 1/2 from our last home, drove by it every day. never stopped. but we decided to go. today. i thought i had remembered that tim said his department was having a team building meeting there today, but wasn't 100% sure. so we pulled up and i decided to call him. he said that he was infact in a meeting there. he said that they were locked up in a barn. {at this point you need to stop and go back and click on the link if you haven't done so yet. please look for what you think looks like a BARN on that page. anyone have an answer yet? yes, you in the back? RIGHT! the barn IS red!!! And yes, it IS shaped like a barn, like EVERY barn i have EVER seen!!!! now what about the green and yellow building? there is a TRAIN to the right of it, AND behind the tree there is a sign that reads "depot", keep this in mind}

anywy, we are walking along the trail spouting off facts about the items we are seeing, trying to pique the boys' interests, while they are picking up rocks and screaming "oh! there is another jack rabbit!" or "whoa! i just saw a lizard!"

so we AVOID the RED barn, because (1) he said it was locked (2) he was having a meeting in there (side note, i have NO idea WHY they had there meeting there when they have ample room at their building)

so our next stop on the self guided tour is the TRAIN DEPOT. we walk in, and i hear voices, but assume that they are other people on the tour and keep going in.

uuuuuhhhhhhh WWWWRRROOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!

it was tim's coworkers, bosses and HR people....! THIS IS NOT A BRAN TIM!!!!! sheesh!
so we scurry out, totally embarrassed! does my husband NOT know what a barn is, and could they NOT have locked the door???? helllooooooooo!


oh well. i have yet to hear from tim about what was said on his end. :)

side note, i saw this video {see below} on another blog....you have to read this woman's blog, so stinkin' funny!!!!

quick update...quinn is sleeping in his big boy bed for naps AND at night time!!! yeah! he is doing well, hopefully we can remove the crib soon.

The knobs on the dresser, bed and armoire (sp?) are fire truck/police car related. tim tried to remove them and replace them with plain wooden knobs and quinn about came unglued!!!! so i guess that will be his "theme" for his bedroom...

i havent been able to paint too much with being so busy with the boys, but i did get a whale done.

ch ch ch changes
