A bucket of rice....

... is all my kids need to keep them entertained for a good hour. Who knew it was so easy?
This morning was a fun time with Noni, Pops, Ben, & his mommy. We went to the Johnson County Museum of History today for "pop-n-play." It's a big room full of activities for kids this age. The big bucket of rice was the biggest hit, so if you're thinking ahead for birthday ideas, here's a hint! ;)

After playtime we toured the museum a little. Sam and Sophie found this thing. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of ancient television. I'm not sure that that knob thing is that Sam is playing with.
Then, blastoff! Good buddies Sophie and Ben are off to Saturn.
Then after naps, Sam got a haircut. He started the day looking like this:And ended it like this:
Our stylist thought he needed a lot taken off! He was almost getting a rattail... *shudder.* I don't know though, we kind of miss our little surfer boy.
