Mouse squared

Playhouse Disney....

Let me tell ya, the shear joy on Owen's face was so well worth all the trouble of going! Amy and Adam met us at our house and then she followed me downtown. We thought parking in the parking deck would be our best bet so we wouldn't have to walk far or search for a spot on the street, but when I pulled into the deck and saw a sign that said "special event parking $7," I held up my baggie of change and told the attendant I only had $4 in quarters, and he quickly waved me out of the deck. Amy must not have had enough either, because she followed me back to the street. Fortunately, we found two metered spots and it only cost us $3 each.

It took me almost 10 minutes to get Ben in the front carrier, Owen out of the car and to put money in the meter and then another 8 minutes to walk to the Civic Center. Owen held my hand and Adam wanted to hold Owen's hand. It was so cute, but took us forever to walk up the street.

We had great seats and could see everything just perfectly! Owen was a little scared at first, but as soon as Mickey Mouse appeared on stage, Owen was in heaven! He recognized all the characters and the songs and just lit up every time something new happened. The best for me was about 3/4 the way through when he leaned over and gave me a big kiss, as if he were saying "I love you Mommy," and just as the show ended, Adam came over to me and said, "Thank You" with the cutest smile and sweetest 3 year old little voice.

Well worth it!!!


Chucky E. Cheese...

We had our final birthday celebration for Owen last Sunday at Chuck E. Cheese. My mom and Chip were so excited to throw this party for Owen. They had a special table with balloons and a lunch box for Owen, pizza, cake, and Chuck E. Cheese came over and sang to Owen. Owen loved it and danced his little butt off. My grandmother, two aunts and cousin were there along with Danny's Dad and stepmom and Maggie and Miles. Owen got another round of fun new toys to play with!
