Robert Munsch!

Last Friday afternoon we got to go see Robert Munsch in Raymond. A family in Raymond won a writing contest and the prize was having Robert Munsch come to the community. My kids love me reading his books so I thought we'd give it a try.
Here he is with part of the family that won the contest. He was reading their story to us. Very cute!

We got to the Raymond High School gym at about 1:45pm. It was packed. We were able to find a seat near the back, which was fine with me. My kids didn't know what to think with all the craziness going on around us! Well it started and Robert Munsch told us a bunch of different stories. The only complaint I have was the volume. It was SO LOUD! We were in the back and it was loud. Poor Brianna sat there the whole time with her hands on her ears! Abbi was getting into it and laughing when he made his funny sounds. Cadence enjoyed it too!

Here's my girls with my mom. Abbi has a funny grin on, because she just finished laughing really loud at part of the story!

This is how Brianna sat for most of the time, with her hands on her ears! Abbi making a funny face!

DJ didn't really care. He had fun running around (another reason why we were in the back!). All in all it was a fun afternoon. What made it even better was as we were leaving the house Richard pulled up and hurried and changed and came with us. So that made our afternoon. I had to run DJ to the bathroom a few times to go potty! That boy is doing awesome! He's gone two nights without a diaper on too. It's so nice! DJ getting ready to take off running! He had fun running around, but he did come up and tell me at one point that he needed to go pee (by grabbing himself and grunting)! We ran and sure enough!

Anyways that was our afternoon with Robert Munsch. He even stayed afterwards and signed 1 book per family. We didn't bring any of our books, but there was no way we would stood in that huge line anyways! He can tell great stories and it was fun to hear them!
