New lens

I bought a pretty new lens for my camera and I while I was playing with it, I decided everything looks better through it.

 

Saturday Steal: Outfit

Another post supporting my friend Camille. If you participate too, you may win something this weekend

Dude, I had major good deal karma this last weekend. I found these super cute little girl shoes at Target for $2 so I bought another pair for a future baby shower gift. 

The romper was $1 at a garage sale. Not really a steal because lame rich people think their junk is worth way more than it is. They should know 25 cents, 50cents max for little kids clothes that have probably been pooped in before. I felt stupid putting it back for a $1 though so I got it. Since it is my current favorite on J, I suppose it is still worth it. I'm very serious about my frugality here.

I talked them down on the daisies for the niece's nursery though so I felt better. They are normally around $5/flower at Hobby Lobby for that size, but I got them for 50 cents each.

Those eyes are not edited at all. Straight from the camera

 

Mmm grass

P.S. This was from a month ago and she looks so much bigger already!

First Car

I came in from the garage after running an errand and I hear giggles upon giggles from the Daddy teaching baby J to drive. He had both her legs propped up and was racing her around the room.

Pacific Science Center

Yes, the last Seattle post. Very, very sad. I guess it's time for me to fly back to take more pictures.

They had a fun place just for J sized people

Still enjoying her life as an astronaut

Animatronics are always creepy. Always.

This was in the bathroom. Awesome.

Experience Music Project

and Science Fiction Museum is the official title. Not worth the regular price of $18 unless you are a hardcore Nirvana fan or have some teens obsessed with music, but totally worth our $3/person with the magic microsoft card. It gets major points for having the coolest shaped building ever.

There was this awesome paper rocker hand at the front desk that I asked to look at. The very nice, furry bearded young man told me I could have it. Then he said told me to wait a minute and returned with tons of free Nirvana pins and stickers. Since I had no use for them, I distributed them to others through the museum. A trio of sweet Japanese girls gave me the wide-eyed,  "O" mouth face when I gave them a handful. If there is any sub group who can enjoy little round Nirvana pins, it is Japanese teenage girls. I was just stoked to have the paper hand as a photo prop with my kid.

 They had a massive Battlestar Gallactica exhibit we had lots of fun with. This flow chart would have really helped me as Husband worked his way through all of the seasons.

This instrument sculpture was amazing

They had tons of little booths where you could learn to play instruments. They even had a sound studio where you could record onstage, but they said J's ears wouldn't be able to handle it.

They had this really cool Avatar exhibit too

The lighting made you into a Navi

He makes blue skin look gooood

Again, babies are excellent props. She's chillin' out in Navi size shoes
