fun in the mail . . . a treat for everyone!

the girls were thrilled when they got the mail in the morning and received invitations to a movie night with ms. b.! the invitation specifically said "no moms", so i was kind of excited too! :) all four kids got to go to ms. b's for an evening of playing, pizza, popcorn, and a movie while bailey and i enjoyed dinner (yes, a real night out!) and did some last minute back-to-school shopping for the kids. we actually got to have some conversations without interruptions and ate our own food! :) what a great treat for all 6 of us! the kids had a wonderful evening and were worn out when we got home! :) thanks ms. b. for a wonderful treat! :)

movie in the park!

what a fun evening! all four kids and i headed to the splash pool for fun and a picnic dinner! (gotta love free swimming!) we drove home to get baths and p.j.'s and put the babies to bed . . . then ken, mck, and i headed over to the park to see "where the wild things are"! what a perfect evening! it was really kind of breezy . . . no bugs . . . not very crowded! the snacks were super yummy, the movie was great . . . and it was just me and my big girls! we can't wait to do it again! :)

loving movie nights!

we had a toy story movie night tonight! b.c was actually interested in it. i have only seen him looking at the t.v. a handful of times, but her was really into watching the movie! (okay, maybe only for five minutes, but it was still cute!) after he checked out the movie he tried to steal snacks from everyone! such a boy! bailey swear he was interested in this movie because finally we weren't watching a "chick flick"! sorry boys! :) kam kept saying, "i don't like this movie. i want to see the pig. he's pink!" okay, bailey may be right! :)
in another year we'll have 4 little sleeping bags lined up for movie nights . . . and even bigger fights about what we get to watch! :)

another first . . . baby einstein!

is b.c. already a typical guy or what? this is him glued to the screen watching his first movie . . . a baby einstein video about the farm! :) it was too cute not to capture this "man" moment! :) it didn't last long . . . he was more interested in playing little people with us than the t.v.! :)

movie night for 6!

we had our first official movie night as a family of 6! even b.c. hung with us for some popcorn, candy, and horton hears a who! the girls were excited to lay out their sleeping bags and chill all together for awhile! ken and mck were sooooo into the movie . . . kam was more into talking through the entire movie . . . and b.c., well, his belly was full, so he crashed through the entire movie! we all loaded up on some junk food and giggles! :) it was a great evening!
