Life has been so crazy busy lately that I am really struggling to get this blog updated. My computer that died has been temporarily fixed with the assurance that it hasn't much time left and I should hurry and transfer everything over. It has been nuts to try and get thousands of pictures consolidated in one place.
The boys got Monday off for a teacher workday and we had a great time. I love days off school with my boys and always try to do something fun. This one wasn't too crazy. We went to brunch at Kneaders with Josh and got these awesome chocolate dipped gingerbread turkeys (heavenly!)
After meeting Josh, we headed down to my parent's house for the day. My boys always love to go there and see grandma and grandpa.
Last night Josh and I went to Ballet West's World Premiere of "The Lottery," along with 2 other ballets. I thought it would be fun to take my nieces with us. First we took them to Salt City Burger. We told them they could choose what we ate and they were pretty convinced they wanted burgers. We decided to call our little date "Burgers and Ballet". It has a nice ring to it don't you think?
After dinner we headed to The Capitol Theater. They had never been here before and thought everything was just wonderful. I LOVED being with them on their first experience here. I was so worried they were going to be bored. One of them had brought a pen and paper to draw with just in case (which was so smart), and she didn't really draw at all. From the time the curtain went up they both were drawn into the ballet. As there were 3 short ones instead of one long one, it gave them plenty of time to move around. It really was perfect.
Our tickets include a reception room were there is usually food. It wasn't exactly kid friendly, but they tried so hard to like it :)
It was such a fun night and I really do think I will take my boys to the ballet some time, but it was fun to be with these two beautiful girls this time.
