We spent a day and a half spending the night at Gma/Gpa M&M's Feb 21/22. We first met up at the Sheboygan children's museum and it was a big hit! Three levels with a circus exhibit, two playgrounds (1 dedicated to toddlers), life size fire truck with costumes for kids, big pirate ship that you could steer and go fishing off, but Elsie mostly cared about the slides. It was fun for us adults to explore a new children's museum since we go to the Madison one once a week.
Then Miles, Odette, and John stopped by for a couple hours and Odette and Elsie had a blast playing together. Elsie just loves having someone her age that she can talk with, especially babies. And they played baby dolls for a good half hour. There was a hilarious time when Spencer grabbed one of the two doll beds from upstairs for the girls to use.
Spencer, "Here's the doll bed. There's only one you'll have to share."
Both girls simultaneously, "Awwwwwwwwww!"
Spencer, "Ok, I'll get the other one."
Then there was another time the girls were playing and Elsie came in from the other room and did a jump stop, then put her hands out (like "stop") and yelled, "Odette! I need you!" I don't really remember what for.
After lunch we headed outside to enjoy the 40s weather. Elsie and Odette made a running circle and ran for a good 20 minutes. Then we played hopscotch and drew with chalk, and of course visited the animals (chickens, sheep, goats).
The rest of the time was spent catching up, playing a quick board game (Dominion), watching Pets 2 movie, and Spencer and Mark chatting it up about politics, life, and real estate investing. He convinced his mom to start drawing/painting some houses for some of his clients, and he plans to pay $100 each, and give an extra $100 to put in an inherited Roth for Elsie. We just got the first couple today and they look really really damn good. So much so that we also plan to start an Etsy site for her to see if we can get more clients, I think everyone will want one!
