We went to the circus with some friends. It was really entertaining! I think that the boys liked the lions and elephants the most, but everything at the circus was really exciting. Actually we had our own little circus sitting behind us. There was a special mix of people sitting behind us, there was about eight kids under the age of four, a teenage mom, an older aunt (maybe she was just a family friend), and an old grandma, with horrile breath. Yes, she was so close, I could actually smell her breath. I had spoons thrown at me, a drink splashed in my hair, sippy cup launched at my head and a white trash mom screaming, "you are getting on my nerves" in my ear several times throughout the night. This mom also stepped out several times to go smoke and took her daughter with her - nice. They bought every flashing toy they could get their hands on at $20 a pop and every sugar filled treat they could find. Sometimes I found the boys watching them more than they were watching the actual circus. Let's just say they were an example of how NOT to act...

Sandbox 2011 & Cioci Joyce's Visit

Cioci Joyce came to town to visit both Sunday and Thursday night of this week, as she was traveling through town from North Carolina to Cleveland to visit Grammy B. On her Thursday night visit she was nice enough to make chicken parmesan and roasted broccoli and cauliflower. It was yummy and everyone loved it! The kids especially liked white broccoli - cauliflower!

While Joyce was getting dinner ready - the boys were outside playing and re-discovered the sandbox - it was a complete mess and they had sand everywhere, but they had a good time. Evan sat there forever and played, so hopefully we will use it much more this year.
