For my birthday this year Todd gave me tickets to go and see Wicked the Musical in Boston. Saturday was the evening of the performance. We had a babysitter and my parents were taking Tyler and Eric to soccer, we were all set for a great night out in the city. Well needless to say 40mph winds and pouring rain can put a little damper on the evening. Instead of going into the city to walk around, we settled to have dinner around here (no not McDonalds remember there were no kids) and then drive in to the show. The drive in was pretty slow and after we saw an SUV laying on its hood in the opposite lane we went very slow. However, after we got into the theater and dried off the play was fabulous. We had such a great time and I would recommend it to anyone.
Then Sunday morning came....no it was a great day. The weather was beautiful and we had an extra hour sleep because of the time change. We decided to carve a pumpkin since we did not do one on Halloween. Alex really enjoyed getting his hands dirty and then my niece, Brianna, did a great job carving out the face. Eric had a birthday party to go to. This was the first one that he was invited to without Tyler from someone in his class. Needless to say when we got the invitation it was a little hard for Tyler to handle the fact that Eric was doing something that he wasn't, until he came home two days later with an invitation to a party by himself. Amazing how things always work themselves out. As we were getting ready to leave for the party Alex wanted to show me how he was practicing riding his bike with no training wheels. He ends up riding right down the driveway and across the lawn. By golly he's got it. He is so excited he can ride a two wheeler. Well Tyler sees this and decides that he is going to practice as well. This is the child that did not want to try riding his bike all summer. He gets on and loses his balance. He gets back on and rides across the lawn. Now we have two little boys so excited because they can ride two wheelers. I have not been able to keep them off ever since. Alex even ventured off for a bike ride around the neighborhood with our neighbor and the other kids. He did a great job. We have a video of him riding that I have included at the bottom of the blog.
Then to end the great day we had my parents over to celebrate my dad's birthday and watch the Patriots game. I even had a Red Sox cupcake cake for him. No Todd did not disown me. It was an exciting game to watch, especially the last ten minutes. I have to say it was a perfect ending to the weekend.....well it would have been better if the Patriots could have won by 51/2 to cover the spread so Todd could have won his football pool this week again. It was a great weekend!!!!
