This is how she carries it around!

I call myself a stay-at-home mom, but I rarely stay at home. I like to plan "adventures" for my kids. They are now at the age where staying at the house all day doesn't cut it. We don't have a great yard for the summer heat - no shade! So I find things we can do to help them release all their energy! Yesterday, we went to the Mississippi Ag Museum. If you are looking for a fun day with little cost, this was great! They have an awesome train exhibit. My boys wanted to sit and look at the trains the whole time! I only wish Pap could have been there to answer all the questions the boys had about the farm equipment!! I have also included pics from two weeks ago when I took the kids to the Natural Science Museum. They had a fun exhibit about recycling and camping. It was fun!!

Now to the purse part. Lately, Ann Phelps has been obsessed with purses. She will turn anything into a purse. Her "first" purse was a gift bag. She LOVES carrying it around and putting things in it. I bought her a real purse for her to use. I took her on a grocery store run last night and she cried when I tried to leave her purse in the car! She put it on her arm just like me and carried it in the store! I couldn't get great pics of her with the purse, but you get the picture. Also, notice her shoes - jellies!!! This reminds me of my childhood!!
