Science,Bugs, food and broken arm! Whew - what a weekend!

Unicorn Beetle  - that is Clay's wedding band beside it so that you can get an idea of how big this thing was.  It was so COOL for this home schooling momma to see and then come home to teach her little girls all about it!

Payton trying out the rotating wheel at the omniplex.  This brings back fond memories for me.  This was a place frequented by my dad and I growing up!!
Eden and her sad little bandaged arm.
OK Food Coop Meet, Greet and Eat event.
Well the night of our anniversary Eden was busy toddling around in the "school room".  As she was going from table leg to table leg she fell and caught herself hands down on the floor.  She cried as she does several times a day.  About the same time my mom showed up to watch the girls for our date.  But by the time we got home from our date, Eden was UPSET, crying and boycotting everything but her momma.  So the next morning (Clay had taken the day off to go to OKC with his girls for some fun) we began the day off by getting x-rays of Eden's arm.  Well our Pediatrician could not see the fracture but the radiologist saw a VERY tiny raised portion on her radius.  So they gave us a small ace bandage and told us she would heal just fine over a week or two.  Well after 3 days with an ace bandage, you would have never known she ever did anything.

So later that morning we made a quick trip to OKC to the omniplex.  We completely enjoyed ourselves watching stars in the planetarium, trying out all different kinds of science experiments, toured the Grand Canyon via IMAX and much, much more!

Saturday we hosted the Oklahoma Food Coop's Meet, Greet and Eat event at our church building.  It was SO great and scrumptious!!!  Whoa - all new foods and good way of eating went out the window that day!  There was SO much food and good food at that!!!!  I am so thankful to be part of a great, happy and yummy group of people.

And last but not least, before the Food event we found a HUGE unicorn beetle just outside the church doors.  Wow - it was so cool.  
Quite a weekend and that was just Friday and Saturday.  I don't know what I did on Sunday but I know I probably took a nap.
