An Enchanted Weekend

John brought the girls home with him on Friday night.

His working in Fond du lac is certainly coming in handy for such visits.

We all enjoyed our first Schuett's of the season.

My mom could not stop talking about the delicious foot longs!  I have to agree, I miss those during the winter months when Schuett's is closed.

The girls enjoyed their food, too.

A sign that summer is right around the corner, Schuett's is open again.

After our dinner we watched The Wizard of Oz.

What a fun movie!

Then a few episodes of I carly before bed.

Soli slept with Gigi.  This is the first time she actually stayed in there with her for the entire night.  She was enticed by the electric blanket and how cozy it was.

On Saturday, after a few cartoons, we watercolored.

Tiz is so talented and she created some beautiful pictures in a short time.

I am happy to have some new artwork from both girls to decorate my walls.

 

We left for Kids in Motion after painting.

First visit there, the girls loved it, I was not impressed.

Seemed unorganized, understaffed, and just plain messy, but as you can tell by the photos the girls had fun:

I think their favorite part of Kids in Motion was the large bean bin.  They loved rolling around in those beans!

After a stop for some ice cream treats which may or may not have gone well, we were off to First Stage at the Marcus Theater to see Ella Enchanted.

We have taken the girls to two Christmas productions there and have always enjoyed them, so we decided to go with the package deal this year and buy three shows.  This was our second.

We all enjoyed the show.

Great acting, funny lines, and just the right length for kids and adults, like me, who are easily bored with such things.

The girls each got a fairy dust necklace. 

Here are a few photos:

After the show, Soli asked if we could go see the lights.  She was remembering that after the Christmas shows, we always go and see the Christmas light show at Country Springs.  Such a good memory!

We took the girls back to Oshkosh.

We were supposed to call Courtney when we were about a half hour away so she and Paul could get us a table to Christiano's for our pizza dinner.

Well, my phone had no battery left and John's phone was at home.

Let me tell you, there is no pay phone to be found anymore.

How do people communicate without cells?'

How did we ever get along in the olden days without technology?

At any rate, we went over to Christiano's and luckily Courtney and Paul were there waiting for us.

It all worked out swell.

John and I came home and stopped at Firecracker for a much deserved pitcher after a great, but tiring day.

What an Enchanted Weekend we all had.
