Tyler visited this weekend. I took Friday off from work, and we picked up Tyler from Grandma and Grandpa before lunch. Tyler is on spring break this week, so he is not in school. We had decided to take Tyler and Eric to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch.
Eric loved Chuck E. Cheese! So many games, the slide, pizza, the slide, Tyler, the slide, Mommy and Daddy, the slide. You get the picture? Eric went down the slide over and over and over and over and… Mommy and I managed to win 61 tickets between us. We “cashed” these in to get prizes. Eric chose a Chuck E. Cheese spoon and a plastic lizard (Daddy chose the lizard 🙂 ).
After lunch and games, we headed home. Eric and Tyler played all afternoon. They watched Shrek 2 on TV. Tyler and I built a castle for Eric using his foam floor mat tiles. This became an ongoing project until Tyler’s dad picked him up on Saturday afternoon. The castle started out as a simple tower with a marquee bearing Eric’s name. It evolved with the addition of an annex to form an el-shaped fortress. Later, it was improved with the addition of a drawbridge to the entrance.
So much fun!
Tonight, we are going to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday, Uncle Rob’s birthday, and Grandma’s and Grandpa’s anniversary. Grandpa is recovering from surgery a couple weeks ago and is doing very well! We are looking forward to playing with Grandpa and enjoying the party!
