Just the 2 of us....

Cassidy went to her very first sleep over this weekend.  While she was gone, Kayla and Brogan accompanied us to Brian's art show opening.  Here they are waiting for their ride:

KK likes to get all dressed up.  Accessories are her favorite.  She told me that she tries to visualize her outfit before she puts it on.  She has rules.  Her favorite is the "pop of color" rule.

As Faculty advisor to the Student Arts Association, Brian drove the SPS red mini-bus.  Brogan and KK got to ride in the bus.  This was a real treat for them.  It all started well, and just went down hill as illustrated in the following images:
Effort to entertain ourselves quickly deteriorated as the novelty of a bus ride soon wore off.  Brogan was very upset that there wasn't a movie on board and protested quite clearly (see bottom right image below).  KK resorted to the more mature form of entertainment: performance art. 
As a whole it went as well as could be expected.  The kids dutifully walked around the museum in about 40 seconds and then demanded snacks.  Fortunately the grounds for this museum are wonderful and I was able to escort them outside to run and play....until Brogan decided that throwing rocks at the building was more fun the walking around the building.  They ended the night sitting in a corner each with a plate of snacks and under my watchful and glaring eye.  Next time we get a sitter.
