After dropping Daddy off at work, we headed right downtown to check out the Old Couthouse Museum. They had some neat things there, most of which we didn't even get to...We did explore the "Corn" display, a history of American corn farming (with farm toys and a combine for the boys to play in/on) and a hot air balloon exhibit. By the end of our visit, David was complaining that he was "chilly" and so tired. So I said, "Let's go home, then." That's when I realized that I had lost sight of Michael. I glanced around and noticed him two rooms away playing with a necklace that was hanging from a big metal Christmas-tree-like structure full of necklaces. I sped over to him and said, "Michael, those are for looking not touching." Up until that point, he had been touching the necklaces very gently, but when he saw that I meant to ruin his fun, he freaked out and pulled as hard as he could on the necklace and literally took down the whole tree! Fortunately, I was able to catch the tree and set it right before any damage was done to Michael, me, or the necklaces. The staff person was so friendly. "Kids will be kids," he said. My Michael.
As it turns out, David had a fever and the chills and spent most of the afternoon "resting" in his bed, voluntarily. Poor little man...
