class field trip to the children's museum

in between ben's cataclysmic meltdowns, i was able to snap a few shots... they had "blue man group" instruments for the kids to play.  obviously, the bubble tables were a BIG hit!!

ben's dance of joy upon finding a bush that grows hotwheels cars...

going mobile...

sophie poured on the charm and daddy caved and finally bought her a bike (since i had already gotten ben a scooter and he is MUCH more accident prone/reckless than she is).  she was so excited and they both had a blast doing laps around our building.  she did kiss the pavement (literally) once when she took a turn too fast, but otherwise it was a stellar maiden voyage.  and surprisingly, he mastered the scooter in no time.  we are very grateful for the lack of carnage that we were sure was going to come of this...

so recently i finally got around to watching twilight.  don't know why i waited so long, as i love a good vampire story.  and even though i am not considered a member of the "target audience" of either the movie or books, i was overwhelmed with a massive sense of urgency to run out, purchase all four books and read them non-stop. (which i did much to the dismay of my family who didn't eat or have clean clothes the entire weekend it took me to read all four books).

then that put me in the mood to revisit one of my favorite bands concrete blonde.  these guys are incredible, oh how i wish they were still making music today.  they devoted an entire album to all things vampiric called bloodletting, here is the title track as well as two other fabulous songs (god is a bullet and scene of a perfect crime).
