On the Second Day After Christmas My True Love Gave to Meeeeeeee....

One sold out R2Potatoo...

and NO partridges in a pear tree...Now that's love baby!

He also let me buy tickets to go see Walking With Dinosaurs: The Live Experience and so our little family did that yesterday. (Glennia Campbell, coinky dinkly saw the show yesterday as well and wrote about it over at The Silent I.) The dinosaur puppets were amazing as they were life size and very impressive. I've gone out of my way to see dinosaur fossils in museums and had a love of paleontology as a kid so this show (which was basically a theatrical version of an episode of the BBC series) was something I couldn't pass up. Although J felt that the show was a little slow in places, the kids and I loved it. Sometimes, when you introduce something you loved as a child to your children, the results aren't always what you hope. Perhaps your kids will find your old love boring, or adulthood dulls your own interest but yesterday, when the first large dinosaurs came into view, Evie's eyes were open wide with wonder. And JT? He caught my eye and grinned from ear to ear.
