Instructions for my husband: I don't just say museum memberships pay for themselves in two visits - they really do

Just last week, once again you were telling me how there's "no way" a membership to a museum can make sense unless we go there lots and lots of times. And once again I told you, no really, you only have to go once or twice and you break-even.

So you can imagine my delight when we visited the New York Hall of Science this past weekend and I was able to photograph this (after, no less, just purchasing a family membership).



This is my eighteenth instruction in my ongoing series Instructions for My Husband.

Do you have an instruction for your husband? I'd love to share it here. Email me at anna@randomhandprints.com.

More Kindy Photos and a Lesson in Spontaneous Generation {Not So Wordless Wednesday}

Yesterday I posted a photo my daughter Magpie took last year at our town's Memorial Day parade. 

Shortly after the parade, my phone went missing. A new phone was purchased, which coincidentally was recently stolen by my son Ziggy and his kindy photos were last week's Wordless Wednesday. The photos and the old phone were forgotten about as we moved on with our busy lives.

In phone miracles, last week the old phone re-appeared from beneath the seats of the car which we had already searched 1,000 times. Clearly, I now have no choice but to believe in spontaneous generation because any other option is impossible - I am a really good stuff-finder now that I'm a mom.

Regardless of how it got here, the old phone has some great photos taken by my six-year-old that we had thought were gone forever. I'm glad they reappeared.




And now kids, you've had your fun. It's time to leave mommy's phone alone.

PS: Smart people - is spontaneous generation the correct word to use to describe my phone's reappearance? I'm thinking not, but couldn't figure out the right term. Transformation didn't seem quite right either. Help?
