Elmo

On Thursday Dec 17th we had part one of Christmas for the girls. We went to see Sesame Street at the GMU Patriot Center. We kept it a secret (though they actually went with me to buy the tickets from the box office) from the girls cause we were not certain that we were going to make it. On Wednesday the girls started feeling bad and had a slight fever. Thursday I took them to the Dr - primarily cause we were planning to leave for the grandparents that weekend and I just wanted to make sure they were ok. They were diagnosed with "a virus." - so basically nothing to be done. They did get an H1N1 test for which they were negative. So I decided that we were going to the show that night - to heck with a little fever for them both!

The show started at 7 pm - so I was a little nervous about a potential meltdown. But they were both little troopers and enjoyed the whole thing. It was over around 8:45. Audrey was super cute watching it. She would grab Darren and point his face to the stage. And they would both ask (repeatedly) about characters that would leave the stage. They were most obsessed with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Baby Bear. Then there would be a cheer when they would appear again.

As a funny aside - when we got there we decided that we should change their diapers before the show started. I saw a sign for a family restroom and thought that would be the easiest thing for all 4 of us. So we rounded the corner and went in. We were amazed at how big it was! So we were changing the diapers when some other people walk in. They sort of looked at us funny. We said something about it being the family restroom and they said that we were actually in the ladies room and that the family restroom was next door. OOPS!! They did go ahead and use the potty while Darren was in there. We were totally cracked up about it.

I took about 60 pictures and they are all pretty awful of the girls. Here are the best ones that I got.
