Children's Museum, Part 1

We went to the Children's Museum this afternoon to go to the "friendly hours" at the Tomb of Doom- the Haunted House special exhibit that they put on every year. It was...well, I don't know, I had mixed emotions about it. It was a HUGE pain to go through with the double stroller (even though the guide said it would be no problem), and seeings how the first thing I saw when we walked in was a Chuckie doll and some sort of mutated gremlin that looked like it came straight out of The Hills Have Eyes, I was pretty sure that it was not as friendly as they would have you think. But once Phoebe got the idea that the treat bag they gave her was going to be filled with treats, it was all good: each costumed museum worker we came to would tell her how cute she looked in her witch outfit and tutu, and Phoebe would hold open her bag and say, "bag" and point in the bag, and then say, "thank you" before the person even had a chance to give her the treat! Demanding little thing! The best one was when the Egyptian lady handed her a tiny bag of candy corn, and Phoebe said "CORN!" and then, "MORE! MORE! CORN! MORE! BAG!" (Note to self: stop giving Phoebe candy corn- it's clearly rotting her brain and turning her into an addict! She might has well have been scratching her arms and asking to see Freebo- geez!) Anyhoo, after all that, we spent the rest of the afternoon in the nearly-deserted Playscape. It was a good thing there weren't many other kids around, because she was getting pretty possessive of the scummy baby doll in the play kitchen...you can see the look on her face there as she guards the baby in the bassinet, daring other kids to just try to get closer...yikes!
