American Girls and Science City

Bumpkin and Troublemaker have been asking for American Girl dolls for awhile now. Probably a year actually since they first started asking but I really thought they would move on. However, their fakes started to get pretty messy hair dos and the asking got louder. So we decided to give them a lesson about money, savings, choices, etc.

We have been collecting money in our piggy banks for years but they girls have never understood actually how much they had. We would go to the bank and they would ask if they had enough money for something at the dollar tree. So their money has been accumulating for awhile. After talking it over with them we found we were pretty close to the needed amount for each of them to get a doll. They were so excited!





Bumpkin knew what doll she wanted. She got Saige the doll of the year. I tried to convince her to consider Molly as they have a lot in common but she wouldn't even think about it. Troublemaker went in with no idea what doll she wanted. I think she might have been leaning towards Kit but she changed her mind frequently. By the time we left she had happily settled on Marie-Grace. Mimi had also settled on her very own bitty twins. She didn't really care which ones, she just played with them all. :)












Finally, after we had selected our dolls and had lunch we took daddy to Science City. I wish we lived closer to it. I don't think my kids would get tired of it. We can spend four hours there and not get to half the stuff. It is a great day trip. Especially because on this day it was Sid the Science Kid day. They had different science projects every hour. My girls like the marshmallow experiments.
