We had a great September with lots of fun filled kid activities and even some late night events for Steve and I. We went to the Thinkery on a rainy Saturday and the kids really enjoyed themselves playing with air rockets, magnets, paints, and lots of produce. Go figure they really like to play with fruits and vegetables, not so much eat them.
They also had their dentist appointment which was Noah first time to be in "the chair." The nurses were very impressed with Noah allowing them to clean his teeth. He was definitely the charmer.
And then of course the event that Joshua and Noah have been waiting for all year long...Day Out with Thomas. This day couldn't come any sooner for these boys. They didn't want to go anywhere the night before because according to Joshua, "We need to go to bed early so we can get a good night's sleep." Unbelievable. That's how serious they were about Thomas. So Sat Sept 27 we drove the 40 minutes to Burnet and though I think it's a complete waste of money, my boys had the best time ever. We stopped in Liberty Hill at Dalia's Cafe where we had some of the best southern cooking - chicken fried steak, fresh green beans, chocolate chess pie. Still thinking about that meal.
That evening Steve and I went to the Pratham Gala - a charity event to raise money to increase literacy in India. Great event downtown with many prominent people working to bring awareness to this issue. They had a "Dancing with the Stars" portion of the night with Austin celebrities as judges.
Oct. 3rd weekend we went to downtown Round Rock for the Chalk Walk and the kids loved walking around and watching the artists, listening to music, and participating in activities.
Steve and I went to ACL this weekend and had a blast listening to great music at Zilker Park: Outkast, Eminem, Iggy Azalea, Avett Brothers, Sam Smith, just to name a few. Steve went tonight to see Pearl Jam and Lorde. Next year I think Noah will be ready to go with us.
