Random Notes on Weekend Fun
This weekend we took the kids to a theatrical production of Pinocchio. It was fun - which means, of course, that the kids liked it and sat through the whole thing. Last week we checked out the Disney book from the library so they would be familiar with the story - funny thing, that Jiminy Cricket guy doesn't seem to show up in non-Disney versions of the story.
Claire starts her first dance class tomorrow, and today she and Katy went out to get her some tap shoes. I had no idea that such things were available at Payless, but my value-minded nature is pleased that Katy did. To say that Claire was happy with her new shoes is to grossly understate the situation. (Heck, Cam tried them on too - anything to make a little extra noise.) Anyway, Claire is really excited about her class.
At one point today all four of us were playing with Hot Wheels cars on the entryway tile. It was definitely a family moment.
Another strange thing happened today. I had the urge to sit on the couch and watch football. I never watch football. I blame my friend Dean, who roped me into playing in his fantasy football league. (I won today, in spite of my lamebrain roster management.)
