Out in Public

Spotted in Public! One mom, four kids and a whole lot of fun!

After spending most of Christmas break with family and friends and all day Friday cleaning out, boxing up and throwing out 2 bedrooms full of excess stuff,  we ventured out in public Saturday.

We started the morning at back to back basketball games.  I love basketball season!

Then, along with the rest of the city, we spent the afternoon at the St. Louis Science Center. Despite the crowd,  we had a great time.  It had been a few years since we last visited.  Not many free exhibits had changed, but we have grown and found a new appreciation for everything there.  Grace decided to forego the science center in lieu of some shopping with a friend.

After the science center,  we headed to the mall to meet Grace. We took advantage of the free samples in the food court as our dinner and hung out at the indoor playground.

We ended the day with a movie at the dollar show. Except that it's now a three dollar show, so I spent more than originally planned.  We refilled the large popcorn and soda for free three times, though, so I guess that makes it even. Alexander and The Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day was our choice and we all loved it! I was seriously laughing from beginning to end.  It is probably the best family movie I've seen in a long time.

All around it was a great day with my family.
