Boys Night Out, Girls Night In

Several weeks ago Daniel ordered some discounted tickets to a Buck's basketball game for him and Andrew. I wanted Abby to have something fun to look forward to as well, so she invited two friends from preschool over for a girls night in.

The basketball game went great--Daniel said that Andrew LOVED every minute of it. He remarked how ironically, with all the lights, music, free stuff, cheers, advertising, and food, (in other words--TONS of sensory input) the basketball game itself is the least exciting part of the night! But they did enjoy the game too--Andrew was out to count dunks and he got to see 2 great ones! As they entered the building Andrew was given this funny little ice cream guy that he held close to him the whole night. They got back at 11 pm and Andrew was full of energy. What a fun time.

As for the girls, Abby, Eliza, and the two friends had a GREAT time. Abby laid out all her dress-ups in her room. As she was showing me her "shop" she took me to the closet and said, "Here's where they can pick up their accessories." Accessories!!?? So, they got dolled up, had an apple juice tea party (with mini sugar cookies we made earlier in the day), and then played games, house, and the limbo. Too much fun. I can't wait to do it again!
