We joined Gammy and Popcube this afternoon for a live performance of Click, Clack, Moo, a funny show based on the book “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type.” It was a lot of fun. The cows are cold in the barn and want blankets. When they find a typewriter (a laptop in today’s performance) they send the farmer a note requesting blankets. He laughs and says no, so they cows go on strike. Then they get the chickens to go on strike too. It’s very silly. The show today had lots of loud singing and dancing and I don’t think the kids fully understood the songs and jokes, but they liked the dancing and falling down silly stuff. Though at one point it got very quiet just as Lex said, very loudly, “I don’t like all this noise!” It was hard to stifle my laughter there.

After the show we all went out to dinner. The kids ran around and ate smiley fries. After dinner when the friendly waiter asked if anyone dessert we all said “no” and Lex said “but I want dessert!” A very “helpful” lady reminded us that kids get free Popsicles with their meals. Sigh. Ok, Popsicles for dessert. She brought over two double Popsicles and quick-thinking Alan had the kids split one and he ate the other (none of the other grown ups wanted it, despite his offers). The kids loved them! I think this is Eve’s first time with a Popsicle. Maybe Lex’s too. I made homemade ones last summer, but this might have been his first time with the straight-up sugar ones. They were BOUNCING when we left the restaurant! Silly sallies the whole way home. We all ran around the house for about 15 minutes before I threw them in the tub. A good time was had by all. :)
