Today would've been my 8th anniversary with my ex. So glad that's over and done with. But someone wished me a happy UN-iversary and I totally had to steal that. :)
Instead of "celebrating" that, I was much happier spending the morning with my little men, even all we did at first was go to Wal-Mart. We came home and unloaded and then we drove up to Boulder because Cheesecake Factory was having a 30 year anniversary celebration with their old school prices: $1.50 a slice.
The boys on the drive up:
I guess after taking two kids swimming yesterday my confidence was up because I took them both to a "nicer" restaurant all by myself. Usually if I'm solo-parenting we go to "not as nice" places like Atlanta Bread or Noodles or something. But Cheesecake Factory isn't exactly quick. They don't even have paper napkins or a kids menu! It went pretty well, though. I went for myself...not the boys...they don't like to eat much anyway. I ordered their spinach artichoke dip appetizer as our lunch. Easton ate maybe one chip. Dalton enjoyed dipping and eating. Mostly he wanted to dip...then he'd shudder if he got too much spinach. Oh well.
When it came time for dessert Easton said, "I want some, I ate a good chip" as his "I had a good lunch" comment. Tee hee! I let him have a few bites. And a few bites is all I got too before Easton said he had to go potty. I think he just wanted to leave. So I made him wait while I paid and had the waitress pack up the rest of my cheesecake. And THEN we went potty and left.
The boys are doing their down time now, when they get up Easton is going to do a craft again. Yesterday we made one too. Our project went from this:
To this:
To this:
And this:
While Dalton sat and had a snack and observed:
We love our "art projects" as we call them. Thanks for all the loot, JessicaOI!
After we were done we moved on...Dalton watched a TV show and E played online while I did a few chores. I noticed Dalton on the glass coffee table:
I was surprised he got up there by himself! So I had to secretly take that picture before I openly reprimanded him for the big no-no that is sitting on the glass table.
So he sat on the potty instead:
And then Easton took this picture of him sitting on me while we did our "circus games" as we call them:
We demonstrated for Daddy when he came home:
And yes I realize shorts that short are no longer in style nor appropriate for my thighs. Gravity helps them to look even shorter with me laying down...let's focus on the rest of the picture instead, shall we?
We even have a movie:
Clearly Dalton had moved on from all the stunt performing:
While Easton continued to hang and climb all over me:
It was after dinner which explains the boys' lack of clothing.
We sure have fun around here, don't we?

When Lauren and boyfriend were doing similar circus events in the living room a couple of months ago we called it "cirque d' so lame". Tee-Hee
You guys DO have fun!
Glad you had a nice un-iversary date with your little dudes.
Wow Wee! I can't believe that stunt of E in the video. I had to watch it twice. That boy has talent, but I know how you feel about the gymnastic stuff. I am very impressed.
Commenting again because I found what I was looking for.
In the video of Dalton biting Easton it totally reminded me of this video.

Yes, you definitely have fun! We need to do more of the tumbling fun instead of the Kung Fu Panda fighting fun.
I was amazed at the flip E did on your legs. What an acrobat!
The cowboy craft is sooo cute. Can't wait to do that one.
The car video TOTALLY reminded me of "Charlie bit me" as well. I absolutely love that video (it's even my ringtone!).
