Cleo and Sidney in Wonderland

Today, the four of us went to the Mad Hatter Tea Party event.  Sidney was doing a little better and enjoyed himself. Cleo really enjoyed herself. We went to the puppet show two times - Roger and I had no idea she liked puppet shows.  The kids decorated cookies:




We listened to jams by DJ Willy Wow who was dressed like a king:


Cleo and Sidney colored "shingles" that were then glued onto cardboard houses:





Cleo chatted with the Queen of Hearts and Alice.  Sidney took pictures with the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat.  He did not want to take pictures with any of the human characters.






Cleo created a pretty frame and took a picture to put in the frame.



This photo is of her and Roger walking to the photo area:


We came home afterward and we ate lunch. Sidney did not eat. He just wanted to take a nap. We will give him some crackers to eat when he wakes up. We are giving him fever reliever every 4 hours in order to control his fever.   Every now and then he perks up but you can see from the pictures that his eyes are sort of at half mast - he's still not himself.

We couldn't take good pictures during the puppet show because the light was facing inward. The puppeteer had four unicorn puppets that he had "kiss" the kids and parents in the front row. We were more in the middle of the room. Sidney said he wanted the horses to kiss him. I told him that we were too far away.  It is so nice that old fashioned entertainment can still enchant and interest young kids.  I have included a picture even though you can't really see the puppeteer. You can get a sense of what the unicorn puppets look like:



The kids and Roger are going to make pizzas for dinner. I will forage about and probably have a veggie  burger and broccoli for dinner.  I went to the gym during the kids' naps and also to Publix because we needed pizza sauce.  My coffee was on sale for $5.99 - it's Folgers chocolate truffle, 12 ounce bag, and it's NEVER on sale so I got 4 bags.  Publix and Walmart now cost the same - $6.99 @ Publix and $6.98 at Walmart.  Last week it was $6.54 at Walmart. It's crazy how prices are constantly creeping up. The Cabot Vanilla Greek yogurt I like to buy at Publix was $3.99 for 32 ounces 2 weeks ago and now it's $4.29.   I haven't seen it at Walmart.  Sometimes food is cheaper at Kroger but Kroger is sort of far from us.  It's worth the trek if food is cheaper there.
