Today was the Circus trip for Addie and Ben with Muddy and Guppy. Addie's been talking about it all week. When she woke up this morning, the first thing out of her mouth was "It's the Circus day!" which was followed by, "And I get to help Daddy with the mulch!" (We had 5 yds delivered yesterday and it's been itching at her to play with it.) The Circus was quite the hit, from what we can tell. Addie's favorite part was, "when he lost his hat. It was in the big bubble." She was referencing the Ring Master, who starred in the storyline of Over The Top. Muddy an Guppy were more tired than the kids after the show. LOL. Muddy took pics and will share them with me, so I can post them.
After they didn't fall asleep on the way home from the circus, we decided to drive them back to Philly to visit with one of my friends from online. Poor Linny didn't know what she had gotten herself into! Besides the fact that neither kid had a nap and it was 3:15pm, we decided to meet in Rittenhouse Square, a large grassy park area. Well there were pigeons there. Lots of pigeons. You would have thought that Addie and Ben had never seen a bird before, they were so into chasing the pigeons. I think Linny and I had a total of 10 words shared, amidst me chasing after one of them in one direction while Brian went in the other direction chasing the other one. Addie was so ferocious, she actually was making the pigeons run into people! I'm sure all of the park patrons who came there to relax and enjoy the nice weather had second thoughts when we were there. Then in a rage of pigeon chasing Ben took a spill. on the concrete. on his face. Not a pretty sight. So now add into the mix a screaming Benjamin, who has swelling on his forehead, along with a scraped chin and cheek. Our visit lasted about 40 minutes total. Poor Linny. She was such a sport though! And she brought the kids gifts, which was totally not necessary, but very much appreciated. Once we were in the car, they were both asleep within 3 minutes.
Because of the pigeon chasing, I didn't get any pictures of Linny at all! :(
Here are some pictures from the past couple of days:
Addie and her new sandals. This was Sunday. They are already wrecked! She knows how to use a pair of shoes!
Ben relaxing LOL
Wednesday, playing with the bubble makers. (Don't mind the junk pile in the background. Our "special trash pick up day" is May 10th and that stuff is waiting for a new home)
Last night, after dinner. Does he look just a little proud to have his own bowl of ice cream?
Before heading up to see Linny. Standing where he's not supposed to be!
Exactly how Addie fell asleep after seeing Linny. Look at her with her new book! A big hit!
Close up of Benjamin, after his collision with the concrete. Poor baby!

Oh my gosh, how cool that you got to meet Linny. That reminds me, I need to email her and say hello. I've been a terrible friend lately. I was laughing picturing you guys chasing after the kids chasing after pigeons, while trying to have a conversation. Poor Ben. That looks like it hurt. Hope he's better soon!
