On Tuesday I was excited to take the whole family to see a magician. We got up and got the boys ready in time, arrived at the Library for the show and... the boys were not impressed. The magician was really good but he did not keep my boys' attention, his show was more geared toward older children. So the boys ended up in the play area where Daddy was able to read some books to them and they took advantage of the many toys.
After our visit to the Library at Cedar Creek we went out for ice cream and took the boys on a short drive with my Mom. We had a cartoon marathon back at the house for the boys and for my Mom. She had not seen several of their favorites including Good Dinosaur, Penquins of Madagascar, or Zootopia.
Wednesday was a fun day for Mom and I. It started out with a good breakfast. Curtis decided to only eat the center of his waffle.
We took the boys out and about around Mabank. Originally we planned on taking the boys to a library activity but we got a very late start to our day. We dropped off library books and then we checked out the arts and crafts district. It was a lot of fun to check out the different little shops and meet some nice local artists.
We finished up in time to be home by our 1:00 deadline. The sister missionaries came over and gave us a brief lesson. The kitten and the boys played while they gave their presentation.
After the sisters left Pamela and my Mom decided to do a painting project but first my Mom helped me get the pool ready for the boys. The boys had a ton of fun out in the sun. It was really nice that we found a way to do separate things but still be together as a family. While we were inside Xander requested Zootopia by saying, "Judy Hopps." We probably watched that movie four times that day. Luckily we got the boys to bed early but they woke up EARLY in the morning, at least everyone got a little bit of sleep.
The boys got up the family bright and early. I made breakfast at around 5 AM. Since both boys were up so early we were able to spend sunrise at a park. Pamela was getting ready for her day and my Mom woke up and started getting ready while we were gone. It was so nice to play outside in good weather.
The boys literally ran to the playground. It had been over a week since our last visit to an outdoor playground. They were so happy! They ran, climbed, slid, turned wheels, spun the rocket thingy, and more. I chased them around a bit tickling them. Xander started to fade a bit and started to lay down in places, but Curtis stayed hyperactive the whole time.
I took the boys home and then we went out again. Curtis fell asleep pretty quickly in the car and stayed asleep for over two hours. Xander also fell asleep in the car but woke up as soon as Mommy was out of the car. He demanded explanations. I sat in the car with him and told him that Mommy would be back soon. We picked up some supplies for a project in the boys room. Then it was off to lunch at the Jalapeno Tree.
After lunch we took the boys to the movie that Xander has been requesting for days, Finding Dory. Unfortunately Xander was so tired that he slept through several parts of it. Thankfully he saw most of the movie.
We put the boys in matching Nemo shirts for the movie event! After spending most of the day sitting in a car, a restaurant, and a theater they were excited to have some playtime!
Amazingly enough both boys crashed before 10:00. Curtis was the first to fall asleep. This picture was taken just a few moments after I had been playing with him and giving him snacks. His hand is covering a small uneaten snack. He was out for most of the night.
