Play time

I had the opportunity to take Clayton to the Children's Museum on April 24th with his best buddy Maddox.  He always gets so sad to leave, but that day I was so ready to not be there all day.  The museum had field trip after field trip.  Regardless, I was one happy mama, he was behaving so well that I couldn't be prouder of him that day.  Lindsey had to chase Maddox around the whole place and he just kept screaming and throwing a fit, it was just so nice to not be that parent that day.

Chris and I went on a double date with Mer and Stephen Larson last Thursday.  It was so much fun.  The guys planned it and had us going to Planet Play were we got to play in the arcade, play a game of laser tag and mini golf, and we ate tons of food.  This is Chris's favorite picture from that night, the one with his face in the girl's body, he is so silly and makes me laugh.  We haven't been on a fun date in a really long night, one in which we laughed and just played like we were dating again.  I have to say, with kids, school, and work, it is hard to find time to spend with each other in which we can go out and be kids ourselves.

Clayton was invited to play at Bouncing Off the Walls for Alma's 10th birthday party.  He had so much fun, and needless to say, his daddy did too.  Chris always complains that he doesn't get enough exercise, well he did that night.  The got to play on bouncy houses, basketball, and climb giant slides to just go down.  There was one bouncer that you had to climb, but the pegs to climb up on were missing so it make it an extra hard obstacle thing...but between Nathaniel and Chris, the figured out a way to play on it with Clayton and Hikaru, they just threw the kids up on it man powered it up...lol!

These two little kids just crack me up.  After 2.5 years they still know how to have fun with each other, from learning how to eat and roll over together to play boxing and playing dress up...they make us laugh.  I hope Clayton and Maddox can stay the best of buds forever.
