brussels sprout slaw

Sorry for the initial brevity... Monday can be a you-know-what.

This past weekend we went to The Children's Museum of the Arts. I cannot believe I'd only just heard of this year, considering the fact that it has been around since the 80's!! How does that happen?

Any way, it was really cool. It is not so much a museum, in the way the Met or MoMa is, but rather a large professional artist studio where kids can engage in all kinds of art projects, ongoing throughout the day. We took advantage of all they had to offer and came home with a shopping bag full of projects, including a necklace, T-rex sculpture and various paintings.
