I decided to throw a last minute birthday party for Luke with 3 of his preschool buddies & of course, Sadie. Luke was disturbed that he had to invite Sadie. Maybe someday they will love each other...
We picked them up a little after 10 a.m. and traveled to the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum. It is one of my favorite museum/children exhibit that we have access to. We herded them thru the first part of the exhibit and then it was time for our 3D movie. So cool, but a little scary for some of our little guys. I also thought Sadie was going to have a meltdown after her last experience with 3D glasses (see here). But, we were able to calm the children with some sugary drinks and nasty popcorn. It was a fun movie and only 23 minutes long so we didn't have too much trouble maintaining them for that long.
After the movie, we went back into the museum and spent the next hour counting children and running after boy after boy. And then there was the yelling.. (just kidding, I didn't yell. Well, maybe once or twice-and it was because I had a little monster climbing into an exhibit to try to climb up on a dinosaur skeleton). Actually, they were all really well-behaved for sugared up boys that were super excited to see all of the neat things the museum has to offer. I think their favorite was the movie, but they loved the hands on stuff-digging up the bones and playing in the sand and water with the little dinosaurs.
After the museum, we headed to McDonald's. Yes, that is right. I took these 5 little souls, by myself, to get us some chicken nuggets. We played on the play place for a a while then went back home for presents and cake. I know, I am lame for not making his cake. But it was still good, and he didn't care as long as there was cake.
We had a great day and loved seeing him so happy to be with his little buddies.
