Update your blog already!

Yes I KNOW readers need their UV and Jemy Bear fix. It has been a while, but I have a few excuses. Perhaps we've joined the Scientologists, and we can no longer expose the kids to the public scrutiny that is my blog (where is little Suri anyway?).
Anyhoo -
The alternate title for this post was: What We Did During March Break

We were having fun in Toronto! We went for a babyshower (any day now, Jack!) and since March Break started the following week, we stayed for a few days.
So you want to know when not to go to the Toronto Science Centre? During March Break.
Violet is one of those types that wants to find the quietest corner of a space and play there. There was no quiet corner in the Science Centre; it was filled with other people's children. There was still a lot for her to enjoy. I had got her all excited to see an astronaut (one of those white space suits) that I remembered from the Science Centre of my day. It wasn't there anymore! Instead, there was a young woman dressed in a l-a-m-e navy jumpsuit that said "I'm an astronaut!" when she overheard we were looking for that space suit.
"Hey Violet, look! a REAL astronaut!", I pointed her out.
It took a hilariously long time before Violet was convinced that this regular looking person was the astronaut (she kept looking everywhere except at this lady). Then she looked pretty disappointed. Then she cheered up when the boring astronaut lady gave her a package of freeze dried ice cream. Sugar makes everything better, and then we found this:
Other highlights....
Dancing with the interactive light show - Heckling the balloon juggler until he finally had to give in and let her try -
So, it was a pretty great place to go. Jem mostly snoozed his way through the place.
He can sit up now, and also shriek like a velocoraptor! He's got two more teeth coming in the top, but they're the eye teeth, so he'll soon look like dracula.
He overcame a bit of his shyness this weekend with all the relentless socializing. He's still a bit of a Mama's boy, and a total coy flirt (and I love it).Hope you all had a good week!

Oooh, he's so good-looking!
How do you do it?
I love the pic of Violet dancing too.
Isra and I drove by the celebrity worship center of the church of scientology when we went to hollywood, crazy palace looking building.
ciao!
