5 year old Bday party or PROM???

So Brooke was invited to a neighbors bowling b-day party the other day. Bowling?.... you say for a three year old? I know I was on the same page - but why not give it a whirl....Anything to get Chris and I back in the Alley :) - I mean what better place for a three year old than a smoke infested bowling alley with balls heavier than her that she is suppose to hurl down a greasy slippery lane! We envisioned chaos as well - but what a pleasant surprise, they have thought of everything!!! (they meaning those people who we despise after we ponder "Why didn't I think of that!") So for lil' folks they have a ramp that they can roll the ball down and it hits the pins every time! What a great invention! Could this possibly allow Chris and I to revisit one of our old pastimes without planning on a babysitter 12 weeks in advance? We sure hope so! A mist the bowling frenzy that Brooke was enjoying was another revelation.....Brooke is growing up before our eyes!!! Brooke and the birthday boy are always very chummy when we get them together and it was no less apparent at the bowling alley - they walked around hand in hand and cheered each other on - it was absurd to watch - I felt like if "wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton came on they would have started slow dancing underneath the cosmic bowling neon lights....

In other news Brady boy is doing good - surely not giving any rest for the weary.....but hopefully we are shaking this cold for good - I look forward to a good nights rest soon! He got his first two teeth - not yet apparent in the pic - but they are there! He sits up unattended now and loves to chew on everything in sight!
