Pinkalicious

We took the kids into Philadelphia one Sunday for a spot of theater.  We saw "Pinkalicious: The Musical" - it's a musical version of one of Clare's favorite books.  Since it is one of Clare's favorite books, we have read it a lot and so Sean knows the story very well, too.  The show was at the Walnut Street Theatre:

We got to the theater with a few minutes to spare so we could absorb the surroundings. read through the Playbill, and pose for some pictures...

The stage is set:

The kids LOVED the show - it was about an hour long, which was perfect for the Sooy Kids.  There was a lot of singing and some audience participation, which Sean liked a lot.  There was one scene in which Pinkalicious' parents pretended they couldn't find her, and they asked for the audience to help them and Sean's voice was heard above the rest - "She's in the pink peony flowers!!!!"

After the show, we went to a nearby pub for lunch:

The pub's decor was super-busy which provided plenty of "Eye-Spy" opportunities while we waited for our food...

And then, we hit up Philly Cupcakes for some dessert - a pink cupcake for Clare and a chocolate-covered pretzel (YUM!) for Sean.

And then we took a few photos outside of the theater:

Little Pink Biker

This afternoon, Clare woke up from nap before Sean.  We hung around, playing with toys, waiting for Seany to wake up, but then Clare asked to go outside to ride her bike. Mommy took her outside while Daddy stayed in to wait for Sean to wake up.



 

Sometimes we call Clare "Pinkalicious" - usually it's because she loves the Pinkalicious book series, but sometimes it's because of her pink-tastic clothing and accessories :-)

Clare stopped to inspect a caterpillar crawling on the sidewalk...

... and to admire her freshly-polished toenails - they only way she'll let me trim her toenails is if I paint them afterwards. Usually we go for a pale glittery color, but this time we went bold with "puh-pull fark-elly toes" (purple sparkly toes)!

The little miss called out to me - she wanted me to stop following her!

Throwing me some attitude with her hand on her hip:

I caught up to her and she told me her plans for the next few minutes - "we go back to home and see if my little Seany brudder is awake and eat big big snacks!  We can make ice cream?" 

 

And that is what we did!
