What a Busy WEEKEND!

So yes we had a 3 day weekend, but boy were we busy!

Lets see there was the cirucs Friday night (after working), Saturday cleaning (yeah that was fun), Sunday Church and then the State Fair, Monday finished school shopping, grocery shopping, and Todd stained the deck! So maybe it doesn't sound super busy, but lets just say IT WAS!

So lets start with the Circus!  Yes I paid way too much for the tickets, but we all had a BLAST!!! I know it is a downfall for me and well hubby's wallet because if I'm going to go to one of these events I want good seats! We have had pretty good luck at the Disney on Ice shows we have been to (1st or 2nd row seating) and thankfully we had just as good of luck when it came time to buy our tickets! =)  FRONT ROW CENTER "court/stage" I think I heard multiple times how I shouldn't have bought the tickets, but the looks on the kids' face were PRICELESS and I would do it again in a heartbeat! With our seats came a celebrity pass...It entitled us to go down on the floor amongst the clowns ... We danced, we shaked, we got to ride in the circus train and be on the floor for about 15 minutes! It was awesome. The clowns were everywhere, the host was signing amongst us, Bello the star clown was out dancing to it was a BELLO-BRATION, and there were a few elephants! I do have to say it was pretty AWESOME. (Here you can read about the circus celebrity and what it is about.)

Of course you can't come home empty handed. Well we got to keep the Bello "hair" hats we were to wear on the train ride (pictures coming), plus our celebrity passes, and of course we let the kids pick something out. Miss Bella picked this adorable "kitty" purse! Yeah that is what I wanted her to pick! Ethan picked out this little motorcycle. Not what I would have picked out for him to get, but what was I to expect...he is a boy and it was a motorcycle. (It just doesn't do what it is supposed to do ...)

   

Here are a few of my favorite pictures! (more to come later... it was pretty dark; so I will need to do a little editing!)

For practically the whole show he sat like this, leaning over the railing. He was completely mesmorized by the show and with soo much going on (3 rings to watch) he didn't know where to look!

So Todd wasn't overly thrilled about going down to the floor during the show, but it was fun!

Nice hats huh? Like I said it is what you do for the kids!

After some editing I'll have to add a few more pictures of the actual show!

P.S... Do you remember how I said in the beginning how Todd stained the deck...WELL IT IS POURING OUT. Oh please let it be dry enough... Todd will not be happy!

(getting late more tomorrow!)

Hi Kim,
We are heading to the circus in the "Celebrity Seating" as well on Sept 30...I must have missed the part about the hats!

Also...YOU LOOK FABULOUS! Great job on the weight loss.
