The first weekend, right after swimming we went to a birthday party for one of Audrey's classmates who was turning 4. The party was held at Chuck E. Cheese (or as Audrey calls it Chuckin' Cheese). I have always imagined (remembered?) Chuck E. Cheese as a horrible, awful germ-filled pizza place with a creepy human-sized mouse band that sang. I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised. It was very clean and modern. I actually kind of missed the creepy band because in it's place was just video screens of different music videos. What mattered is that Audrey had a blast. The kids were all given tokens to play the arcade games with so she ran around with her friends and tried out all of the different games.
Find Audrey!
After that party, we barely made it home in time to greet our babysitter who was watching the girls while Bill and I went out to dinner with our next door neighbors. We went to one of our favorite places in town and had a 5 course tasting menu.
Then the second weekend, again right after swimming we went to a birthday party for another one of Audrey's classmates. They had a bounce house so Audrey was so excited. The boy's parents both went to Northwestern and were there the same years as Bill so we really hit it off with them.
In the bounce house:
I have no idea where this file came from but it looks like my phone took all of the pictures of Audrey in the bounce house and made this motion picture! Weird!
Vivian LOVED this little slide!
And then promptly fell asleep (check out her tattoo!):
Wearing a mask she decorated:
From that party we went over to one of Bill's co-worker's houses for a cookout. Kids were invited so Audrey had some playmates. The next morning, Bill was at work so I took the girls to ANOTHER birthday party for a neighbor girl. It was held at a really great playground that Audrey likes so I was able to sit with Viv while Audrey ran around with the other kids.
We sat outside with our neighbors later that day and I got this pic:
