On Wednesday we went to the Providence Children's Museum. Atlas has been there once before and really likes it. We are planning on going on a day trip to go to the Boston Children's Museum soon because it is supposedly one of the best is the country. Maybe we will be spontaneous and go tomorrow since we finally got my car fixed.
Atlas really liked these little shell costumes that they had there. He tried them all on and then would march up to people and say "look, I'm a skunk(/turtle/ladybug etc)!"
He had lots of fun and was very sad when it was time to leave, but once we got home he started saying he didn't want to go back to the Useum (as he calls it). He kept saying it and we kept asking why until we found out it is because of the "scary chair." He talked about the scary chair for a few days and how he didn't want to sit on it. Here is the scary chair.
It finally snowed here on Friday. I didn't think Atlas was ever going to get to use his snow gear, but we ended up having two pretty big storms this weekend. On Friday afternoon it was sunny and we went out to play in our little shared backyard. We only have knit mittens for Atlas and all the snow was clinging to them and making him very frustrated cause he couldn't throw snow balls very easily that way.
Nick and Atlas had snow races. It was funny to watch Atlas try to move around in all his bundles and layers.
We can see a river from our backyard, which is cool I guess.

Overall it's been a pretty slow week, but we had a few highlights that made it fun. Nick goes back to school on Wednesday and this semester is going to be a bit more busy than the last was for him. He has some classes that he is really looking forward to, so hopefully they will be as good as he wants them to be. I guess only time will tell.
I miss you guys!! That looks like a kids dream land! Except for the scary chair of course which is super creepy! Jealous you got to play in the snow, I still haven't this year.
