Get On The Shelf contest

Some (probably most) of you reading this might already know about this, but in case anyone else stumbles on it, I wanted to put the information in as many places as possible.

Walmart is having a contest right now called Get On The Shelf where anyone who has a product can submit it for consideration. The winning product (determined by # of votes) wins a spot on walmart's shelves and on walmart.com. I entered my countdown boxes for consideration. Here is the link to the page where you can watch the video and vote. You can vote either through your facebook account or a text message, and you can vote once a day. I would love it if everyone I knew could vote once a day. Thanks in advance for helping with this!

Museums galore

We have visited 2 Indiana museums in the past few weeks. First we went with Meg, Lilly, and Zach to the Center for History in South Bend. What a fun place! It was set up like a little old-fashioned town with a school, store, barn, house, etc... and the kids could play with anything they wanted. Here are some pictures:

The second museum we went to was the Indianapolis Children's Museum for a spur-of-the-moment meet up with some of the Evansville Jacksons. It was a free day at the museum, so it was absolutely packed with people. But we still had fun visiting with Gran and Papa Michael and some of the kids. It was so nuts at the museum that I wasn't really able to take many pictures. Here is the one I took that turned out well - Becca and Papa Michael on the merry-go-round. It was by far her favorite part of the day:
