we won a contest!!

I enter so many darn facebook contests ALL of the time!  I like gazillions of statuses- share posts- and leave comments nearly every day somewhere to win something!  and last week- I totally won a contest!! at the Beavercreek Pizza Dive!  one of our favorite pizza places in Dayton.  This pizza is AMAZING. and the owners are the NICEST people around.  They have an all you can eat buffet for crazy cheap on mondays- and the pizza choices are incredible.  In fact- I've blogged about them before HERE!

 I won a family prize pack! a super big dinner and 4 tickets to Beauty and the Beast at the Schuster center!  we used it all last night and had the greatest time.

we got a TON of food.  Their breadsticks and crust are spread with some crazy addictive sugar butter garlic sauce.  It is to die for.

we got drinks and cookies, too.

 they've got all sorts of games and coloring pages at the tables to keep little kidlets busy.  Metta likes to lick markers (amongst MANY other strange things).

We dropped Metta off with friends after dinner and were off to enjoy the show!

The social media booth.  Ike refused to hold a sign.  Kent, too :)  So Zeb and I did the honors.

 
 Ike and I are kind of two peas in a pod when it comes to musicals and theater.  I'm fine until intermission- and then I wish that it would be over!  the show didn't start until 8- and was REALLY great- but a little long in my opinion :)  Ike stole my sweater and curled up to fall asleep.

 I think that Kent enjoyed the night most of all!  he was so excited to take the boys to their first 'show'.  He showed them the orchestra and told them about all of the instruments.  He talked to them about the curtain call and all sorts of other stuff.  Zeb ate it all up and was on the edge of his seat for the entire performance!!  when Gaston came out for the curtain call to take a bow, zeb proudly booed!  it was so funny.

 our seats were up on the FOURth balcony!  it was quite the view and the boys were pretty impressed.  The evening was perfect (minus the woman in front of us who tried to 'sshhhhush' the entire theater- there were lots of kids- at least ten times) and was only made even better because it was all FREE!!  hooray for the Beavercreek Pizza Dive!! thank you! thank you!!
