Noah and I were searching for something to do on the weekend where we could get lost from the house long enough for Walter to paint the nursery.  We stumbled across an event called “Baby Loves Disco”.  It’s a nightclub in Fort Lauderdale that opens its doors in the afternoon once a month to kids ages 6 months and up.  They have a “bar” fully stocked with juice boxes and kid snacks (Goldfish, cheese puffs, fruits, veggies, pretzels, and the like).  Great idea!  Horrible execution.  It was the most crowded, chaotic disaster of a dark room with loud music I’ve ever been to.  A lot of the kids were freaked out and some were down right scared.  Noah was a little clingy and once he warmed up was only interested in playing on the stairs.  We did manage to play with the toys, have a few treats, dance a song or two and get his face painted but we were out of there in an hour.  I can’t even imagine staying the full 3 hours of the party!  We went with Rachel and Ayla and met Randy and Joseph (from our birthing class).  Here are a few photos from the party -

So crowded!

After waiting outside for what felt like forever (but was probably only 20 minutes) we finally got to come inside.  We were all so hot!  I tell you this so you don’t judge anyone’s hair or flushed cheeks!  And yes, the baby is giving me a new chin every day.

Ever seen a child more thrilled about having his face painted?  She could have painted the most amazing artwork all over my kid, he wasn’t going to move a muscle, but he wasn’t going to be happy about it either.

“I stood here for this strange lady so I could look like this!?”

He did look really cute though and it was his very first face painting!

Remember the hysterical kids I told you about?  It eventually got to everyone.  This was our attempt to take a photo of the three kids.  Hard to believe we met in birthing class almost three years ago.  Ayla couldn’t have cared less!

Oh – and the nursery?  Not even close.  Walter managed to get one coat of trim done in the time we were away.  Looks like we’ll be finding a few more outings to get lost at.  We have three weeks until we find out if I need to be induced super early and in those three weeks we have a ton of plans, including Walter being away for three days.  This will be interesting!  On a side note we finally settled on Noah’s bedroom furniture.  It was a long road with a few tears finding something to replace the nursery dresser, nightstand and changing table in his room but at long last it’s over.  They’ll deliver as soon as the nursery is painted and the furniture is moved.  You have to love big furniture companies sometimes!
