Good Home School Mama

I took the girls to the High Museum of Art today. They had a free day sponsored by Target. Actually, the first 4 Thursdays this month are free. There are several exhibits leaving this weekend and some that were just moved in and started so today was great because you got to see them all. I had never been. Always wanted to go but it's dang expensive most of the time.

Well,  we weren't there too long when one was totally bored and ready to leave now. Excuse me, the museum was free but we paid $10 to park - we will walk and see it all (because quite frankly, I really don't intend to go back). And so we did.

Of course I nearly got us all in trouble because I was taking a picture of the girls looking at something. Yeah lady, I ASKED the dude over here first and he said I could take a picture of my girls to document this field trip. I'm NOT taking a picture this art (because quite frankly, my girls can paint MUCH better than this). Dude finally came over and said "She is JUST documenting that her girls were here on this field trip. She is NOT taking pictures of the art work. Thanks for backing me up Dude. Maybe I can convince Skylar to share the pictures I took with me (she loaded them to HER computer) and then I can add them here for you to see. One day...  ;)

And I really didn't. But Skylar told me after we left she took 3 pictures. LOL She looked like she was texting but she got 3 pictures of her favorite things. Maybe I'll get her to let me have access to them one day so you can see the lips, Marilyn Monroe and bicycle she liked. In her defense, she was walking on an injured foot and it really hurt her to do so much walking. 

Sandi was basically her 15yo bored teen self. We were walking through one area where she said "it looks like they just stole that stuff out of a 1970's house and put it here." I must agree.  She did like the one exhibit by Radcliffe Bailey. "It was all sparkly. I like his use of glitter." His work was actually quite interesting and you could see the thoughts behind most of it. Also, he was there speaking to a group that moved through so we saw and heard him for a bit. Being in the back of the group though meant you didn't hear a lot so we moved on and kept looking.

So, I sufficiently bored my daughters for the year. Isn't that the job of every GOOD home schooling mom? Maybe now we can get busy with some FUN field trips. 

Actually, one day I would be willing to go look at more exhibits but I'll wait a few weeks or months. Just wish I'd worn my pedometer today. Sure would love to know how far I actually walked!
