Weekend Successes.

This weekend was a total success. We had a relaxing Friday night that involved ice cream, cuddles, and Family movie Night. Saturday was Dave and Busters and sneakers shopping for my Step-Son who has successfully lost about 20 pairs of shoes. There was a little drama over this has he has recently taken to the idea of slip ons and now refuses to wear anything with laces. C has always had a pair of Vans Spicolis’s in rotation so this isn’t a huge problem, however I feel like at 8 years of age one may be too old to completely banish laces from his closet. There isn’t a lot of options in his size for cool kicks without laces so I came up with a solution….



Not a bad call, eh? We would still prefer the actual laces and that he learn how to tie them but this at least satisfies us all until then. He picked these out himself…he’s got good style huh? He had a serious jonesin for a pair of checkered vans in a neon multicolor (he kept calling them Disco Shoes..errr what?) but they didn’t have them in his size. I was pushing for the plain black pair so it would go with everything (oh hello? Since when am I practical about shoes? Have you looked in my closet?) but the kid is all about the color combos.



Sunday we headed over to Rock N Romp…a totally success! C ran around like a banshee, bought about 600 balloon animals, and rocked out.

Balloon Butt!

Hendrix loved it as well. He was super smiley and happy. They had little shaker maracas that Hendrix enjoyed licking repeatedly.

Mosh Pitt Baby!

Both One Happy Island and The Shills were thoroughly enjoyable and kid appropriate and My hubby, Michael Savant, spun some tunes. I think we could all take a lesson from the children and their dance moves. The totally get down and my favorite? The running back and forth that takes place. Numerous kids just running from one side of the dance floor to the other, over and over.
Mouths hanging open, wind in their faces, pure glee. Adorable.

I was psyched to see some faces from Baby Center and my blog joining in on the fun!

Driving home from dinner on Sunday night C sat in the back seat gushing about what a great weekend he had and how he didn’t want it to end.

Music to a (step) parents ears!
