Yikes is really all I have to say about it.
Here are the highlights:
Nora was really into Dance Dance Revolution, but got kicked off by some acne ridden kid who DDRed like ma maniac. I can't lie, I posed my kids in front of him so that I could take pictures, but none of them turned out.
Abby had a lot of fun playing games with Tim. They have about the same attention span, so it worked out well.
Abby also made a picture for Chuck E., so we hunted him down and gave it to him. It was cute, but made me kind of sad, like Chuck E. Cheese tends to do.
There were about a million and one kids there and about 4 parents, it was kind of surreal. There was this one kid who kept following Abby around and asking for her to give him tokens. Tim and I stayed on top of it because he got a little pushy and she got a little territorial. There was not a minute that she did not have one of us hovering over her, and yet the kid still went and got his mom and claimed that Abby was being mean to him, and that she "wasn't sharing". The mom failed to see why Abby wouldn't share her tokens with him because he was all out of his, and according to this woman Abby had "plenty to go around". What does a parent do in this situation?
At any rate, it was a decent family outing...

Wow, Chuck E. Cheese sounds like a crazy scene. I have not yet experienced that and to be honest, I am a little scared.
The token thing is very odd. I have come to the conclusion that you are a magnet for people who are slightly off their rocker!
By the way, what ever happened with the long lost non-friend who called you? Are you going to call her back?
it's been awhile since i've done the chuck e cheese scene (wasn't it showbiz pizza once?), but aren't those tokens worth money? you use them to buy crappy little toys, right? okay, so they're not worth *alot* of money, but still...your kid wouldn't go around handing out nickels in the name of sharing, right? craziness!
