A few months ago, when I heard that one of the girls' favorite books, Pinkalicious, by Victoria Kann, was being performed as a musical downtown, I knew we just HAD to go. The story is about a girl who loves the color pink so much, that she eats too many sweet, pink cupcakes, and wakes up the next morning, and has actually turned pink! (Kind of a "you are what you eat" sort of tale...) In the end, the only remedy for her "pinkititis" is to eat lots of healthy, green foods to balance the pink sweets. (Love it!)
So this weekend, we surprised the girls with a pinkalicious night on the town. We all dressed in our perfectly pink apparel (even Daddy agreed to participate!), and plodded through the precipitation to peer at the pinktastic performance. :)
It was just short enough that even Aubrey was able to sit through the whole thing, aided by her "magazine," (program), and a new, pink, sparkly wand. The cast did a great job of entertaining the parents as well as the kids, and no one even cared when Aubs used her "outside voice" inside during the performance, since the audience was teeming with wiggly, giggly, pinkified girls.
Afterwards, we took a brisk evening walk to have dinner at Macaroni Grill, where we warmed up next to their cozy fire. The night was complete when we surrendered our "mystery coupon," and found that it was for 50% off our bill! Yahoo! At that rate, we should have ordered the dessert too! :) If only they had pink cupcakes......
