This weekend we went to the Long Island Children’s Museum. We’ve been to this museum a couple of times, but for Christmas this year, our friends gave us a membership!
Speaking of our friends…
We met them there! Nora is now four months old and gloriously chubby and smiley.
The older kids had so much fun together…
…which is always heartwarming to see.
And on Sunday, I took Andrew to the Discovery Museum in Times Square for their Spy Exhibit.
He looooooooooved it. We saw cameras shaped like matchboxes, pens, tie clips and watches…and cameras that were strapped to pigeons! We saw how many intelligence satellites were orbiting earth and how these satellites used to shoot their imagines in film. They would drop a canister into the atmosphere where an airplane was zooming by to nab it. (!!!) Incredible. Now we BOTH want to be spies!
Hope yours was a good one!

Love that first photo with all the faces in it. The children’s museum looks like a fun place to visit! My younger daughter used to want to be a spy – I’m sure she’d have loved the exhibit.
This is such a fun age! I remember during a similar spy-ish phase with my lot, we made an intruder alert system… Basically a simple electric circuit with battery and buzzer which worked on a pressure pad system (easy to make where the circuit is completed by ‘intruder’ stepping on the pressure pad made with folded over kitchen foil). It buzzes (obviously). A super simple intro to electric circuits and cheap to make. Just to warn you it can be a bit hit and miss so watch out for that e.g. He sits patiently waiting for an interuder to step on the mat and set off the alarm but the intruder steps over the mat or the pressure system is a bit temperamental! My eldest is now at Uni and is doing a science based degree … He never lost his love of science. Great kids you have there, I enjoyed reading your blog (found via a Shimelle linky!)
