The Big Top!

The highlight of our week was going to the circus!  We got free tickets through one of Mike's advertisers and they were for the good seats =).  We were all so excited to go!  We went right after school on Friday afternoon and we were mesmerized!  Even Celeste sat still for the first hour.  There was everything you would expect from the circus - clowns, trapeze, tight rope walker, elephants, horses, tigers, dogs, contortionists, and other entertainment!  It was loud and big and bright and awesome!  We finished our night with pizza and a treat!

We watched this girl get shot out of that cannon - it's a very quick video you have to watch it!

Anna Elise and Calvin sat across the aisle from us.  Celeste joined them after peeing all over her highchair - the joys of a toddler! =)

Our Family spotlight for the week is Celeste.  We aren't going to talk about potty training.  I'm tired of it.  She actually does really well, but hasn't ever pooped in the potty so that is not going so well...She is becoming more friendly, which is good.  She is learning her colors - she has known what pink is for months now, but seems to be picking up on a few of the others as well.  She figured out how to climb out of her crib just yesterday and now won't sleep at night.  It's not fun for anyone!

I remember going to the circus in high school with the Christensens and thought it was awesome. Also, I'm impressed with Celeste and her colors. Liam still doesn't know his colors very well and just doesn't care.

My kids loved the circus too.
Agreed, potty training is not fun. Really, it is so easy to just change a diaper.
It will get better and shes your last to potty train.
