Even though the movers were packing up our house, Mommy decided to be fun Mommy and take the kids to the circus as planned with the Ellertson girls. Thanks Grandma Pauline for coming over to monitor the movers so we could do this! Mommy surprised the kids and boy were they surprised!!!!!
Mommy surprised herself too to be truthful ;)
Everyone got to pick a treat on the way in. Trevor and Charlotte picked stuffed animals while Ashley picked cotton candy and Abigail picked a snow cone.
We settled into our seats and were amazed by the performance!!
The kids covered their eyes for most of the acrobatic one!
Amazing!!
So glad we could make these memories with the kiddos before we don't have the opportunity to do fun things like with our AZ friends on a whim!
See Ashley's face in the above picture? It should have been a sign of things to come for Mama. Eek. On the way out Ashley had a full on tantrum like never before. Crying, screaming, hitting Mommy's head as she carried her out of the arena and on the way to the car. OH MY!!!!! All because she wanted a snow cone. Well we agreed that everyone got one treat and no means no so Mommy dealt with her the best way she could in a crowd. Ignored her until we could find a family restroom and she got a stern talking to. Then she knew Mommy meant business. She asked for a hug, sucked up her tears and off we went like nothing happened. What in the world!!!!
