I can happily say that it went very smoothly. I put Logan in the stroller, but took him out at each exhibit so he could run around. We had fun in the kids play area (it is for 5 and under, so we don't spend much time there when Colin is with us). Soon after we got there a "finger play" show was starting. Logan had a ton of fun listening to some songs he recognized (like itsy bitsy spider). He had a huge smile on his face the whole time. Evan also seemed to enjoy it though he was a little shy and didn't participate as much.
We then went to the Mr. Potato head exhibit. Every couple months a new exhibit comes, which keeps it interesting. After that was lunch. I packed a lunch again which made things easy and then I treated Evan to an ice cream cone, since he did such a good job staying near me and listening. He happily shared it with Logan, which also made me very happy. Both boys fell asleep on the way home and then went down for their naps at home. It was a great day and I can't wait to take them again.
Thursday night was Bunco for me. I think Dennis secretly loves Ladies Night because he gets the house to himself (after the kids are all in bed). I don't blame him, he never gets much alone time since he works long hours and then comes home to a full house. Tonight is dodge ball night for him, and I have to admit that I'm looking forward to sitting in front of a chick flick with a cup of tea or glass of wine or maybe a sweet treat. For as different as Dennis and I are, we have some similarities and one is that we both love our alone quiet time, so I think it is healthy for both of us to have some time to ourselves.
Before the boys went to bed they had a movie night...
