Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


I took the two of them to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this morning. It pretty much set the theme of the day. I was surprised that D sat for the whole show, a little sleepy at the end but he seemed to focus on the stage. Pointing "what kids doin?" B was enthralled as usual. It seems she is used to meet and greet following the show though, she was not happy that she did not get to meet the cast.
When we got to school, I warned her teacher that she might be a little wound up. No sooner had I gotten the warning out when she came running down the hall talking about the show a mile a minute. By the end of the school day she was worn out pretty well.
I took D home, much to his disappointment for a nap. " come on let's put D in for his nap"--me
"I not D, I Sissy!"--what that boy will do to avoid a nap. We did have to take blankey along when we picked her up, a half hour nap was just not long enough.
It was a kinda rainy day, so we drove to the craft store for some supplies. On the way I hear them playing in the back seat. They were pulling each other out of the "chocolate river" with rope scarves.

In honor of our chocolate factory day and the fact that we miss our back door neighbor.... a pic of D at the chocolate factory in York
