I thought some of you were friends...














WHY did you never warn me about a seemingly harmless, even fun-sounding place known as CHUCK E. CHEESE???? Why??
I've been a mom now for over 13 years; why was I not informed of how hideous this place is on a Saturday afternoon? I will never be the same; I am scarred for life from yesterday's 3-hr birthday party.
Just by the look of the parking lot, I knew it was going to be bad. People fighting for parking spots, parking in the grass, etc. I'd take the Shrine Circus any and everyday over this place... The people, the kids, the crowds, the screaming, pushing, shoving, crying, and did I mention the screaming??? Okay, anyways, we survived (PTL for Tylenol & Coke Zero!) BTW, why don't they have a bar at CEC?

Other weekend happenings:
-A nice friend got my treadmill assembled yesterday - thanks!!!
-Xian is sick w/ a cold, cough, and sore throat:(:(-T is in NJ & NYC enjoying family and Lombardi's Pizza. YUMMY!!!!!

-LB taught herself to ride her bike w/o the training wheels. See the video & pic below:

Edited to add these 2 weekend pix, too. LB & Mims enjoying their Sat. morn tradition, chocolate chip pancakes:

Ok, I didn't know Chuckie Cheese was like that. We have been during the day and the kids always have a blast! Sounds like they should serve adult beverages. Them and the photo studios! Or some valium or something..... Maybe we should work on that? Shuttle system to get you home after the experience??? Fun for all.
And wow that LB did that! Good for her! Hannah still needs to learn to ride, but she hasn't had much riding time to practice. We will have to work on that this summer.

everything we need is enough

I warned you about Chuckie Cheese!! What a horrible place, LOL!! And WAY TO GO LILY!!!

JODI! I am so glad to see you found me so I could find you! I can't believe how much Xian has grown up - remember he and Emma kissing under the pinball machine?! They'd die now! The girls are just beautiful and you all sound like you are doing great.
Chuck E. Cheese, NO WAY! Not for me, it's an instant migraine and shoe-in for disaster with Jackson. Glad we live in the sticks and don't have to worry about it anymore. Glad you made it out alive.

Look forward to reading more about your beautiful family.
Take care,
Jayne
