My Fiancé has a Crush on a Russian Juggler...

 

OK, well, maybe he doesn't but his eyes did light up when she walked into ring #1 at tonight's circus. She was beautiful and abnormally limber...hmmmm

We gathered the girls tonight and went to the circus that was in Centre 200. We spent a fair amount of money on tickets but it was very well worth it. Miss Lily couldn't take her eyes off of the ring no matter what was going on inside it at that particular moment. She was on the edge of her seat watching the fire breathers (amazing I must say...I could feel the heat in my seat) and she was wide-eyed watching the gentlemen on the trampoline. Her favourite was the elephant which had her amazed at the sheer size. I think she knew elephants were big but not quite that big. Chloe pointed, laughed and was amazed at the clowns, the black jaguar and everything else that crossed the stage. She sat on her father's lap pointing at hollering for him to look. Chad bought them light up swords and they had a blast waving them for their favourite performers. Ahh...what a night.

The only bad part was that the girls missed out on a camel ride because it was a 20 minute wait (the entire intermission) for Miss Lily and I to have a pee. Someone please tell me how it's possible for men to never have a bathroom line but women seem to be in a constant state of waiting to pee?? I was so tempted to just swoosh Miss Lily into the men's bathroom and run to the camel line up for her and Little Miss Chloe to have a ride and then get their picture taken with the fire breathers. I have a movie of the fire breathers...it was amazing to see. Anyway, I'm completely amazed at how long it takes for women to pee!! The only thing I can figure is that men don't wash their hands...or maybe they just don't really pee and it's all a ploy to say "ha-ha, look at me, there is one thing that I can do that you can't do better – PEE QUICKLY!!" OK, maybe not.

You know, even the creepy guy who sat next to me and gave me a hug when he first sat down didn't even ruin the show. He kept talking to me about how amazing it was and telling me to LOOK LOOK but I was able to successfully ignore him. He didn't ruin it, just gave me a good case of the heebie-jeebies. Chad was with me, I didn't have to worry about Creepy Guy following me home for more hugs. I did get lots of hugs before the girls went to bed and kisses too and "thank-you mommy", "I love you Mommy"...ahh, the best.

I'm really glad we went, worth every minute, every penny to see those two girls faces light up brighter than the stage itself...

....alright, I admit it...I kind of have a fan-crush on the fire breathers....
