dressing crazy, and eating my words (along with some greasy, salty pizza)

Last week Evyn's school held a "Crazy Dress Day."
Check out the outfit she picked out:





So, I've been saying for years, that I would never take my kids to Chuck E Cheese.

I remember the place from when I was a kid. Overpriced junk food, noisy games, cheap "prizes" that were impossible to win without getting Mom and Dad to fork over big bucks.



I hadn't considered birthday parties.

Or how important attending a birthday party was to an almost-6-year-old.



When Evyn got the invitation, I knew I had to suck it up and go.

She had a great time. The food was awful, the place a zoo, my patience worn thin. But Evyn was so happy and had a fantastic day.





Oh, and look what Andrew got - just in time for spring!






I haven't decided whether I'm getting a bike trailer, a front-mounted bike seat, or a traditional rear-mounted seat. Anyone have one that they love? Opinions welcome :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outfit Evyn picked out! PERFECT :)
And CEC is not a spot I would choose, but I had learned to tolerate it. It's best at 10:30-11am on a weekday...just in case you are wondering. You know, for future reference. ;)
