Monkey Bizness

We met up with Jennifer & Jack for some play time at Monkey Bizness this morning (Keith & Ben couldn’t join us because they were under the weather). Annabelle and Jack had so much fun playing in the houses and going down the slides. Annabelle loved playing house while Jack really enjoyed going in the bouncy house. He is quite the climber! Annabelle is a bit more timid and likes to do the mothering. As they ran towards each other, or past each other in some cases, they’d scream “Hi Jack! Hi Annbelle”! It was hilarious to see them recognize each other and really enjoy playing together. Jack doesn’t call her Bobo anymore – she is now ‘Annbell’. Most kids leave out that second A and it just sounds too cute.

There was a special crawler area just for GG. She rolled around and climbed all over the soft squishy toys. Annabelle and Jack both made it under the age of 2 rule so they were able to join her for a little play time too. GG had a lot of fun rolling around and will have even more fun when Ben is down on the ground rolling with her. Our girls are so lucky to have the Carlson boys so close in age! They are great pals!

Keith and Ben we hope you are feeling better!
After playtime, we went to Cinzetti’s for lunch. B has been wanting to try it for a long time, primarily because there is a large sign that can be seen from the highway that says ‘Kids eat free’. Oh, that B. I had no idea what it was so I was game but was a bit disappointed when we got in and realized it was a buffet-type Italian restaurant. I’m not a huge fan of those places and it was really tough to try and make plates while keeping up with two little ones at the same time. The food was just ok, but we all enjoyed the desserts. Annabelle was introduced to orange sherbert which is her dad’s absolute favorite. They went to town and I pulled a very low momma move when we left. To avoid drama, I tricked Annabelle into thinking we were going back for seconds of ice cream and we instead headed right to the door. The only thing worse than the look of disappoint on her face was the look on B’s face when he realized I had tricked them both!
