Heading out of the hotel to our next planned attraction, ny husband grabbed me by the arm, turned to me, and said, "Wait. We're about to take our children to a GLASS MUSEUM?!"
Not one piece broken. Click on the brown button to show your pride!
I clicked, and I am thinking how proud you must be....the twins and glass did not get along at all! I am also thinking I know one job I would not want...cleaning all that glass. Loved your post!
I have never been to a glass museum myself. I would love to bring my kids there but I can't even trust myself not to break anything...hahaha I sometimes can't control myself from touching nice things, I guess my kids had that same trait. Seems like I am should be worried about my self more than for my kids. :)
Like Mr. Rogers used to say (paraphrased), Won't - you be - my Followers?
A Little History
Quite frankly, I don't know what I was thinking at the time. We went from 3 kids by birth to "oh, let's adopt a 4th" without a whole lot of deliberation.
While adopting said 4th (in Kazakhstan), we met a young man of 8 yrs by the name of Borya. Thought he was a pretty nice kid and years later found out we could adopt him too. Only thing was, he came as a 2-in-1 package with his younger sister Ylia. What the hay, said we, and rushed headlong into the adoption process. Again. To adopt two kids that were 10 and 13 at the time.
Started a blog to keep track of where my head was in this adoption game. When Borya and Ylia arrived home, we were suddenly the proud parents of six kids, ages 9, 10, 11, 11, 13 and 13.
That was back in 2009, but I still blog. I figure what doesn't make us laugh makes us cry, and I'd rather be laughing.
Also? We live on a farm(ish) with a few dozen critters. You're just as likely to read a post about the farming side of things as you are the parenting side. Thought you might want to know in case you have allergies or something.
As for the structure of this blog, I pretty much post on a daily basis, and I tend to be all over the place in what I write about, so if it's nice, neat and compartmentalized you're looking for, be off with you now, you won't find it here.
I do have some structure, though, I'm not a total bohemian. I roll like this:
Mon: Mirth Monday. A little somethin' to make you chuckle.
Tues: Sometimes Adoption Tuesday, sometimes A Tip For Tuesday, sometimes random thoughts.
Weds: Wordless Wednesday. Usually a photo or some artwork from myself or one of my oh-so-talented children.
Thurs: all random, all the time.
Fri: Farm Friday. Speaks for itself.
Sat, Sun: More random musings.
Feel free to explore and don't be shy -- drop me a line to say hello, and be sure to add yourself as a follower. Feeds my ego in a big way. I'm very insecure.

Those pictures are amazing, but I would be terrified to take my kids there. :)
I still can't hardly believe it myself. Yay us!

Elise, I know, you really just want to touch everything there. Luckily pretty much everything is behind, you guessed it, glass!
