53/100

The first item to be crossed off my list of 100 is number 53 - visit a children's museum. Right when you walked in, there was this phone monster! It was made from hundreds of old phones. It was so cool!

I went with Rex and his nephew Mason. This is him being silly in the grocery store [my favorite part]. He grabbed this loaf of bread just to take it over to the diner [his favirite part] so they could have more things to eat. haha. He is so sweet and funny.

This is Mason lifting himself with the use of a simple machine - the pulley. He is really super strong!

There was alot of stuff to do and things to see. I had so much fun with this kid and I'm so glad we got to take him somewhere so cool! If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have a reason to be at the children's museum, so thank you Mason [and Rex]!


50/100

I am happy to say I can now cross off #50 from my list - Tie Dye!
Two nights ago [Feb. 8] Chrissy and I went thrift store shopping then came home to tie dye some shirts, socks, pillow cases, undies and shorts.

Here is my shirt all tied up:

They faded after I washed them but I think they look pretty awesome!

It was so much fun. I can't wait to do it again!!
