Since Toby's birthday is on a Wednesday, and our Wednesdays are totally packed, we celebrated over the weekend!! With our basement still in a state of disarray from the water damage (we are getting closer) we can't have a party at our place, so sadly there will be no big 5th birthday bash :( Instead, we decided to celebrate as a family at the Curios George Live show!! We didn't tell Toby about it until we were just a few days away, but he was SO EXCITED! Our day was full, with baseball practice and a soccer game, but then we headed straight for Cleveland and the Palace Theater.
We had cheap seats, but still had a very good view of the show! We got there early, and Toby could not wait for the show to begin!
Here are a few photos from the show. It was cute, but rather long for the many, MANY young children in the audience. I could hardly hear the show over the whining and crying and moving around of all the kids. Toby didn't seem to mind though. He was glued to the show!
And after the show, we decided to stop off for Ice Cream, but realized it was nearly 6PM, so we hit Friendly's and got dinner and ice cream. I hadn't been to a Friendly's in quite a while. It was fun to tell the kids about the one we USED to have in Wooster and how mommy and daddy went there on dates (imagine, me going to an ice cream place for a date!!). And I talked about how I remembered going as a kid with my grandmother and Great Grandmother and as a kid, all I wanted was desert, too! So I couldn't blame them for rushing through their dinner! Toby didn't eat much of dinner, but he sure did lick his ice cream bowl clean!!
So on Wednesday, we may use the kids coupons for kids meals at Bob Evans before church, and give Toby his other gifts. Even without a party, I'm sure this will be a birthday Toby will remember!! OMG He's FIVE!!!!
God is Good!
