Birthday Eve!

On Sunday, we were in for it.  They had tons of ideas and wanted to do them all.  I can't believe how exhausted we all were at the end of the day.  Of course, they wanted another walrus waffle for breakfast and this time, Brent attempted to make them.

Hahaha!  Um... yeah.  I'm not sure this necessarily made it into the walrus ballpark.  I saw devil although I'm not too sure it would have rosy cheeks.  Maybe cat?  Another Brent masterpiece fo sho.  We left shortly after breakfast and headed off to Build-A-Bear.  Mindy was in desperate need of a new outfit and Wyatt made a Christmas clearance monster he named Quackie.  Quackie definitely sums it up (both monster and creator).

Then we hit up Chuck-E-Cheese. (Cringe. Itch.)  It took everything in me not to turn right around 30 seconds through the door.  Infested, sticky, nasty.  Holy hell.  But, Brent and I managed to grin and bear it and after a few hours and lord knows how many tokens later, we won enough tickets to buy a Tootsie Roll.  Swell.  But wow, did the kids have fun!  I totally remember running a muck at that joint when I was little.  You just had to let them do it.  You should hear the shrieks in this house when a Chuck-E-Cheese commercial comes on now.  I hope they forget about it.  I bet they don't.

They weren't through yet though.  They wanted tacos from Taco Bell.  Cool.  They love putting on their own sauce.  It's all about the saucy independence.  However, Taco Bell served to be just a warm up as they wanted to hit up the Melting Pot.  They had been talking about "cooking their own food" at the Melting Pot forever.  We obliged and it was so unbelievably cute.  They loved doing the dipping and the fork stabbing! and all of that fantastic cheesy, chocolatey, wonderfulness.  I would have to agree.  I love the Melting Pot and I definitely recommend the Bananas Foster White Chocolate fondue.  I would bathe in it.

About to blow out their birthday brownie bits.  Wyatt's mouth was full the whole time because he enjoyed it so much and used the stuffing technique because taking bites took too long.  Even even choked a couple times. Unfortunately, this was the only pic I had of their little birthday desserts so I apologize if you just lost your appetite.



Quackie and his dad.

He asked to hold a barf bucket on the way home because he thought he was going to puke from too much sugar.
