Clifford the Big Red Dog!

Um... Thanks to the lady who took our pic outside?

 On October 19, Isaac got to go out with Mommy for a little date night!  Grandma and Grandpa bought him tickets to the Family Series at the Orpheum for Christmas.  The first show however, took place in October.

Back Story (I want to remember):
I took Isaac with me to pick out our seats and get tickets back in early September.  Mistake.... He thought we were going to see Clifford THAT NIGHT!  I simply told him that Clifford was driving to see us in his truck with all his friends.  That seemed to smooth things over and he was content!  Good thinking Mom!

Until....

Scholastic Book Fair time at the Local Elementary Schools....

Ever seen one of their trucks? 

You know who is plastered on the side? 

Yep - CLIFFORD! Oy Vey! 

So, about 2 weeks before the show, as we are driving to daycare (at 7:30 in the morning), we pull up next to a Scholastic Book Fair Truck. Isaac freaks out because Clifford is here, tonight must be the show.  There is the truck so what's a mom to do?  Think fast!  I told Isaac that this truck was too small for Clifford, but I bet that he is getting close.  This truck probably has his bed, or toys, or food.  Clifford should be here soon.  Again - that answer sufficed.  Whew!  This boy was EX-CI-TED.


The night of the show, we got dressed up a bit.  Grabbed some dinner and headed to the show.  Isaac was grins all the way!  Mom (i.e. ME) was a sucker for the stuffed animal.  So we brought a Clifford home with us.  The puppets were great.  Clifford was huge!  Think - 2 adult males fit inside.  One runs the front, one ran the back.

I never heard a peep from this little guy.  To say he loved it is an understatement!  

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
