Our family has had a wonderful few days together starting with:
MUSIC:
On Thursday nights, all 4 of us meet for dinner at a kid-friendly restaurant on South Grand. This week it was Natty's Pizza. Then, we all go to Music class where we sing, dance, and play instruments. The boys absolutely love it! At first, Jared and I were like, "What have we gotten ourselves into having to sing and dance and be silly in front of other people?" But, we've come to really enjoy our Thursday nights together and it makes us feel like kids again. We must be having fun because we find ourselves singing the songs outside of class too. :)
MAGIC:
Friday night, we all went the the Balloon Glow in Forest Park. It's one of my favorite events in St. Louis with about fifty hot air balloons tethered to the field and lit up in the night sky. It's really quite magical! This time we even stayed for the fireworks which, I dare say, rivaled downtown's 4th of July fireworks. We all had a fantastic night riding ponies and trains, eating funnel cakes and popcorn, and watching the balloons glow!
MOVIES:
Tonight, I took the boys to their first full-length movie! And, it was quite successful and super fun. Carondolet Park had an outdoor showing of Disney's "Tangled." So, the boys and I snuggled on a blanket, shared some popcorn, and enjoyed the show. It was perfect because the boys didn't have to be completely quiet or even sit still like they would have to in an actual theater. Instead, they were singing and dancing along to the songs and just having a great time. The weather was perfect too because it was just cool enough for snuggling.
What a great weekend - and it's not even over yet!
