Elmo's Green Thumb

Nama treated Preston, Laken, Bean, Madeline, Constance and I (Braeden thought he was too big, but I think later wished he would have gone) to an evening Preformance at Sesame Street Live's Elmo's Green Thumb. But, first she took us to Roscoe's BBQ. It is a small little BBQ joint with outdoor seating. It was yummy and the kids wore off a little energy, too.

Pudge was hot eating outside. It was pretty warm, so we headed in way early for the show.

A group shot. Our sea

s were awesome! And, they were even the cheap seats. The kids complained because they had to wait a 1/2 hour before the show began. They of course were eyeing up every food and trinket that was being sold. We purchased a CD of the show. I think we have listened to it non-stop since we bought it, so it proved to be a great investment.

A scene from the performance.

I would have to say hands down Pudge had the best time of all the kids. He was totally rocking out to some of the songs. His favorite the "Trash" song that is kind of a rap song. He listens to the cd over and over. He is truly my little boy. If only I could bottle him up this way forever. Laken crashed before we hit Bryon and Preston fought sleep all the way home and then, crawled straight into bed. Then, the next

week Nama took the kids on the annual school shopping event (love this tradition that began when Braeden and Riley started Kindergarten). My mom takes the kids to a store (our pick is always Children's Place) and helps them pick out a couple of outfits, takes them in the fitting rooms to try them on and purchases them! Then, to top it all of she takes us all out for dinner! The kids (and mom, too) absolutely love this tradition! The kids usually won't think about any other school purchasing until this event is done. Laken was quite the little shopper in all of this. She picked out all of her own clothes, all dresses, and wanted to go to more stores when we were all done. She must have some Meier blood in her?!
