Pretend City

This place is so much fun.  The kids played and played for hours and left kicking and screaming (literally).  Deacon was in heaven.  On a normal day at home he will go through about 7-8 different costumes.  The kid LOVES to dress up.  Most of the time he alternates Batman and Buzz, but then he'll put on some random  monkey costume that's way too small and hop around the house saying "Rrrrribit!"

This was the first one he put on and was instantly my favorite.  Have you ever seen a cuter postal worker?

Here he is calling his wife to check in on his break. "What's that honey?  You need me to run by the grocery store on my way home?"

"No problem, babe."

Waiting in line. (Seriously, are you dying?  I could barely stop laughing long enough to take the picture!)

Xavier prefers to shop organic.  Local and fresh is always best.

A rare shot of him in his own clothes.

Oh wait, he found a weird Dalmation smock, never mind. (Those baby chicks were really cute by the way.)

Xavier and Austin are such cute friends.  They've had three sleepovers since they moved here Easter weekend. Once school is out I am sure they will be inseparable.

I love this picture of him on his tippy toes.  He almost looks like a teenager in a normal size kitchen.

Take note: Deacon is now wearing a tuxedo jacket.

And now he's a disgruntled fireman.(The hat didn't fit and kept falling off).

They have this really cute cafe where you sit down and there are real menus.  Your kid can take your order and then make it for you in the kitchen.  Xavier had so much fun with it.  He kept ringing the bell and shouting, "Order up!"

He wasn't as excited to be on mop duty as he was to cook.

"Oh, hello Mr. Mail Man!  Would you like your regular order to go?"

I never thought fake grocery shopping could be so fun, but we got a big kick out of it.

I would tell Xavier his total and he'd say, "That's way too expensive.  I'll give you one dollar."  I wish it really worked that way.

We had a great time and will be going back very soon!!
