Health Museum

Last weekend Ben & I went to the Health Museum downtown Houston!

We had a lot of fun! A lot of the things there were directed towards kids;

And seeing that we are kids ourselves..... it was perfect!

Ben seeing what he looks like on the inside when he rides his bike!

Me... learning the importance of dental hygiene

Yes Ben! That is a very healthy liver! Way to go!

Me learning how important exercise is for my heart!

Ben getting a good workout too!

What a great day! They had multiple brain teasers set up there too!

We spent most of the afternoon doing them!

Mr. Mathew got some good ideas for his classroom!

And the Winner is....

Well, I do appreciate everyone's contributions to the guessing game!

The day after the exterminator came, we haven't heard a scratch, chomp, or a peep!

Unfortunatly, neither of us was home when he was here. I even went

to the front office to see if he had mentioned anything to the apartment people!

Nothing! So I apologize. I have no official answer. You all win!

I guess for now although I am curious as to what it is/was.... maybe it's

a blessing that I don't know!

PS... You're all awesome!

Well, unfortunatly the last 3 out of 4 nights, Ben and I have been awakened by some type of living creature scratching, knawing, eating away at something in our ceiling. This is not the way I like to be awakened at night. It soon stops after the ceiling is pounded on a couple of times. The apartment complex has been notified, and the exterminator is coming tomorrow (Wednesday). It sounds to me like it is huge, like a racoon or an elephant or something. My husband seems to think that it is a rat... but now thinks it may be bigger than that.
Any other suggestions as to what may be in the walls? Winner gets the satisfaction of being awesome! Good luck guessing, and please pray that crumblings of dry wall and a big furry animal does not fall into our bed tonight! Sweet Dreams!

If this doesn't make you laugh.... there's something wrong with you! Hope you enjoy!

Geocaching!

Last night we went geocaching with the Holtvluwers!

We didn't get too far, since we started at dusk! But we had a good time!

Ben was our GPS genius! Hudson loves to touch Uncle Ben's head!!

Smile Buddy!

That's more like it!!

Unemployed

I apologize for the lack of posting lately. Nothing new to update on. Since our busy time in Michigan, we have settled back into our routine back in Texas....well, at least Ben has! I unfortunatly have been unemployed since we've been back. I do have a job lined up, but I do not start until the 28th of January. I will be working at MD Anderson Cancer Center. It is the #1 cancer center in the world. I will be working there on a "per diem" basis, which means I only have to work 1 shift every two weeks, but I can work more than that if I want :) Being without a job I have been struggling to find things to do (unfortunatly shopping, my favorite, is not as fun when done by myself... and with pulling in zero income, I find it hard to spend)! I've cleaned, cooked, baked, exercised, caught up on the news, job hunted, babysat, ect... Needless to say, I am excited to work again! Today is cold and rainy in Texas, although I hear Michigan is hitting single digits! Yikes! I guess cold, is cold....but that is stinking cold! Well! Here's to the weekend!
