The week of Cliffton's Birthday

We all loved watching The Avengers on May 7. Well, Azure and I explored the hallway area right by theater #. She wasn't too thrilled about the movie. I loved what I caught. Afterwards, we let the kids play on some of the games, w/o money.

On May 8 we went to Chuck E Cheese! That's always a hit. I won a jackpot! I think we won 84 tickets from one of those 'hit-the-light-to-stop-it-between-the-posts' games. Know what games I'm talking about? I like those. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've won a jackpot from them. :) Maybe I should try gambling next... ha ha ha??!!

Cliffton's Pre-K class along with several more of the Pre-K classes did their "Nifty 50s" show the day before his 5th birthday. Cliff sang, or was supposed to sing: Splish Splash (Little Richard), Happy Days (the theme song), Rockin Robin (Bobby Day), Rock around the Clock (Bill Haley), Shout (Isley Brothers), Twist and Shout (Isley Brothers) and We Go Together (Grease). He actually did sing a little. He's so cute! I think the two I heard him sing the most were Splish Splash and Twist & Shout. Eden, the black haired girl in front of the girl in the pink jacket, is in Cliffton's class and she's in his primary class. I'm going to try and get some video posted with this too. We'll see about that. (Sorry pics aren't that great - my camera isn't very good with distance)

Don't you love his face?

On his birthday, May 10, we went to the Long Island Children's Museum. That place is a ton of fun! Our family favorite is the bubble center. We have the recipe too! :) Haven't tried it yet though. But we will let you know how it goes this summer!

The climbing net or whatever its called goes up pretty high. I wish I could do it! Hmmmm.... ;)

Cliffton really likes the lights and the horn at the lighthouse. There is a slide that goes off of it that Violet loves. The play area has a small section just for the one and under babies. I tried to keep Azure from eating the toys but as you can see.....

Azure liked crawling up on the bridge but was too nervous to go down it. It was cute. She reminded me of Cliffton when he was crawling and would crawl in a circle on the carpeted landing (back in Midway) and say, "no no no" with a smile as he refused to try to climb/crawl down the landing.
