Movie

Dan has had to work every Friday and Saturday night since February. Because of that, we don't really do anything. A lot of the time I don't have the energy or desire to take the crazies out by myself. But I decided that I need to stop being a slacker mom, and do fun things with my girls. Since it is cooler and they were playing a movie that we haven't seen at the outdoor picture show, I decided to surprise the crazies and take them. Thankfully my friend, Melonie, brought two of her kids and made it a little bit more fun and easier (especially for potty breaks). The movie was "Mirror Mirror" and I can say that I liked what I saw, but we weren't able to finish it because we got sprinklered out. Yes, they forgot to turn off the sprinklers and they came on at the end of the movie. It was set to go off in sections, so by the time it got to our section, we had already moved to the sidewalk so we didn't get wet, but there were some people who didn't move and they weren't so lucky.

The kids were all bummed out that they didn't get to finish it, but we had a talk about how to laugh at things like this and that we will be able to rent it and finish it.

It was a fun night and I'm so glad that we went. Maybe I'll get the courage to do something fun again another day. We'll see. :)

Fridays are Fun

We had a fun day today. There is a new exhibit at the mall about Polar Bears and Penguins. The first part is about the polar bears and the girls hated that part. They wanted to run out of the place, but didn't really have anywhere to go. There is little cave that is about the size of one that the bears would make. The girls refused to go in it. Dan finally bribed them to get in it and it was a quick in and out. You can see them covering their ears because every once in awhile there would be a bear growl and it was loud in the cave. That scared them the most.




Right after I took this picture there was a bear growl and the girls were out of that cave so dang fast!


The penguins on the other hand they had a blast with. Probably because there is a slide and you have to dress up like a penguin to go down it. It was really small but the crazies like it.

After that we came home and had a yummy summer lunch, ate some otterpops, and then played and relaxed while Ty took a nap. Gotta love those naps.


At dinner time we had a fun time talking, laughing, and dancing. Until Ty got mad at me and kicked me off my chair.


To finish the day we surprised the crazies with a night out on the town-- A kid friendly night on the town. On Friday and Saturday nights there is a free "Outdoor Picture Show" and I have wanted to go all month long, but we just haven't made it. We finally did tonight. We watched "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". We have seen it before which is good cause I was sitting behind a sign that blocked part of the screen. The girls absolutely loved it, but I'm not sure how they are going to act tomorrow.... it was a late night. We are already planning on going again.
