All About the Kids

This weekend was all about good times for the kids. Saturday started off with the weekly ballet and tap lesson. I love watching my little one dance her heart out. She may not have all the steps down but, she always tries her best and loves to be there every week. After dance we went home to change. The little one earned all her stars and happy faces at school last week. (hey, Kindergarten is hard work!) That meant that she got to go to the Disney Store to pick out her Halloween costume. This year, it's all about The Little Mermaid. We went home with a costume similar this:
After the Disney Store we met up with FI and my future step daughter, and Future SIL and her daughter and took all the girls out to Chuck E. Cheese. I have to say, it's definitely NOT my fave place. It was kind of a last minute thing. Surprisingly enough, the one we went to wasn't so crowded. After an hour of playing games and collecting 126 tickets, we went home with a little plastic harmonica, two pink hair ties and a pink koosh ball. It was loads of FUN! Well, the kids had a good time so, that's what mattered.
Later that evening we got together at SIL's house and it was time for us parents to relax. That involved a nice bottle of wine and a fun game of cards.
Sunday, FI and I hooked up the boat and made our way out with the kids to Bonelli Park. We like it there because it's close by and it's a fun day trip for the kids. We had a fun time out there on the water. The weather was perfect!
Lately every weekend seemed to be planned out with family gatherings, work, dance performances, it was nice to just go out as a family and take the kids out for a good time.
