***Why I can't Stand Chuck E Cheese***

I know I am a week behind- but better late than never huh? Things have been prettttty busy lately!!

So I am sure most of you have heard how Chuck E Cheese is now officially one of my enemies!!!I am sure you other Mommas out there would agree with me for sure once you hear this lil pleasant story- soooo Last Tuesday Noah and I took Eli, Rylan, Jessalyn, and Cami to Chuck E Cheese for the day in Bloomington. Noah had the week off last week so we decided to find a good day to go- and it was going so so so perfect with each and every one of the kids until Chuck E Cheese entered the game area! And here is how it began-

Noah was over interested in some game haha and I took the double stroller with me with Eli and Cami in it. Jessalyn and Rylan followed me and were going to go play a game when Chuck E Cheese came to us. Jessalyn ran to him and I got a picture of her with him and then I took Eli out of the stroller first since he was in the front and handed him to Chuck E Cheese to get a picture. I specifically told this mouse that Eli could not stand, so if he didn't mind to hold him I would snap a picture! Of course the mouse can't talk back- but I know he heard me! There is no way he couldn't have- we were literally the only people in the place besides employees!!! So I backed up to take a pic when the mouse placed Eli on his feet on the ground and held on to him. I thought to myself "Okay?? What did we just go over?" But he had a good hold of Eli so I snapped the picture, which did turn out cute!

Then Rylan got reallllly upset right about the time I snapped the picture and started screaming and crying. She didn't want to be the next one to get a picture taken with the mouse, and was petrified of him. I was concerned for her and felt so so so bad for her so I went to grab her, as she ran away from me. I then got Noah, who went towards her and she was running from him too and as I turned around, Eli was falling face first to the ground and fell right on his face! This all sounds like 10 minutes of my life, but it was all like in 1 minute of my life. I stood there and SAW Chuck E Cheese let go of Eli and he fell straight to the ground. The poor boy was screaming and crying so hard, a cry wasn't coming out!!!! I was soooo mad I said "SERIOUSLY?" and ran to Eli, swooped him up in my arms and ran to Noah who did have Rylan at this time and I said real loud "THAT MOUSE JUST DROPPED ELI!!!!!" I look over to see Chuck E putting his hands over his mouth and walk off fast! There was noooo way I was allowing Cami to get a picture with him after that inncident! I was furious!!!

So September 1, 2009 became the day I almost beat up a mouse, known as Chuck E Cheese!!!! A lot of Mom's told me they would have took him out- I was just so concerned on how Eli was doing though myself and wanted to keep ahold of him! He seemed to be fine though, with a lil bump on his head that never bruised, just stuck out a little bit!!! We had to tell Rylan the mouse went "night night" and she refused to sit by the isle in the booth we were in when we ate pizza (which should have been free for us after all this!) She cracks me up so much but I felt so bad for the lil girl!!!! She's too sweet to be so sad! But moral of the story- don't take your kid to Chuck E Cheese and if you do- please sock that mouse in the face for me if you would :]

That's my story folks- pretty interesting! How funny would it have been if I would have socked him one and got kicked out haha! When Eli is old enough to ask to go there I would have to explain why we couldn't by saying- "sorry buddy- this Momma beat Chuck E Cheese up when you were 7 months old because HE DROPPED YOU!" Who does that- really???

And to turn my mad face into a kinda sorta happy one- here's the cute pic I did get :]



OH and also- Noah didn't see any of this happening because he was calming Rylan down! Everytime I would say anything about it (in a loud voice ON purpose) he would say "shhhhh" hahahahaha! He always has to be the nice guy I spose :] He was mad as well though- just not as mad as this Momma was :]
