tiffany's spot

Today we celebrated Brooks and Riley's birthdays. They have a combined age of 51. I know, they look fantastic. Also, they refused to both look and smile handsomely at the camera at the same time. And when they finally did, it became apparent that I should probably stop taking pictures with my iphone in drkened rooms, especially of small moving people. Regardless. It was fun.

It was awesome - the museum part, not so much sleeping on the floor with a million other people, but the museum's sleepover program is fantastic. Each group was given an itinerary and a museum guide and had numerous stops to make. We watched a really good planetarium show, we sat in the auditorium and listened to a story teller (I loved this part), we toured the museum and spent a lot of time with a real live mummy (even if some of the littler kids freaked out when watching a video where the mummy turned all mushy and then skeletal, resulting in the kids having to go colour pictures in an area where they couldn't see the mummy, but where other tvs would sti...
