A trip to the city without dad!

Yesterday was a long and lazy day at home, so today we were determined to get out and have some fun. Noah left for work and we packed up to head to the NEMO Science Museum again. We barely got to scratch the surface when we were there Sunday. We got on tram 26 and headed to Centraal Station, then walked about 10 minutes to the museum. Easily the best science center I've ever been to - 5 floors of exhibits and a rooftop restaurant with good/fresh food. After a few hours Emmett was more than ready for a nap so we started our trip home. It was dumping rain - we were actually prepared with umbrellas and rain coats but we got SOAKED. We made a pitstop at Starbucks for some snacks and a latte - Finn actually said to the barista, "my mom always has to get a nonfat latte". It rained all afternoon, hailed even, but the sun came out eventually. Noah got home from work and we all headed to Il Sogno - a pizza and gelato place in the hood.

A huge wheel that spins super slow - kids can fill it with triangles. Very cool and kept them busy for a while.
Building a house. E's first attempt with a wheelbarrow. He wasn't exactly great at it.

Every science center seems to have one of these things.

The 4th floor was the "Teen Floor" - this exhibit was Let's Talk Sex. Can you even imagine something like this in the US? I have felt like a prude so many times here already. The first was at the beach when a bunch of kids were running around in their undies and our kids were yelling "ewww naked!". 




Sidewalk near our house.

Heading home after a long day out. The tram has been fun - Finn loves checking our tickets in and out. 

Trooper going to bed at 10pm and sometimes skipping his naps.

Bunny still sucking her fingers. Ugh.

What we've been up to

It's been cold and snowy! We got almost a foot of snow on Monday afternoon and the kids had a snow day on Tuesday. They got hours of TV in the morning and then Noah came home and we all went sledding. The hill by our house was absolutely packed with kids. We had so much fun. Emmett cried and cried, saying "brrrr" until I threw him on a sled with me and flew down the hill. He cried the first time, and then loved it after that. Sophia and Finn were both so brave. Noah build them a jump and they both flew over it on the sleds over and over again. Finn loves to shovel the sidewalk. Noah snowboarded a couple days over the weekend so Finn was the man of the house - shoveling so Sophia doesn't have to even walk on the snow. Ha! Sledding! I went to a fun wine tasting party with other Teller moms on Saturday night. This was the welcome to the party.  Story time! Oh Emmett.

Sophia turns 5!

Our little bunny turned FIVE last week! I can't even believe it, a whole hand. She took lollies to school for her classmates, and then we had a party at La Jolla Rec Center on Sunday. Complete with a bounce house, pizza and a cake big enough to feed at least 100 people. Seriously, the cake was ridiculous. Apparently I ordered a full sheet instead of a quarter or a half. Oooopsies. I think five is gonna be a great year for Soph. She has made lots of new friends and is so happy to go to school everyday. I'm so happy she's in TK, she is loving it. She got a new bike from us, and lots of cool art stuff from friends, and her first Barbie! She also got another Wonder Woman costume from Nay Nay, thank goodness. Cruisin' on her new ride. Now we just have to get rid of those training wheels.  The actual night of her birthday she requested pasta so we went to Filipi's in PB. Hadn't been there in at least a decade and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff sang her ...

Our trip to Croatia

Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive.  One of the many beaches in Split...     Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up. Afternoon at the beach. Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot. Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coinciden...
