Leave a message

Sitting here tonight playing with the kids and the Mr called to B and B said, "B's not here right now please leave a message after the beep, BBEEEEPPPP!" It was so funny even the Mr laughed and forgot what he wanted him for. lol

3 year old advice

Today I got some interesting advice from my three year old O. She told me to go faster on our way home. I told her, "I can't go faster it's not safe and a police man will give him a ticket." She said, "Well don't slap him because then he will put you in a cage." lol She is quite the character, she proceeded to go on about me getting put in a cage and her being all alone. Apparently she has seen an episode of cops I was unaware of...lol

Toy Story 3 and Shrek Forever After

So last night we went to the Drive in to see Toy Story 3 and Shrek Forever After. I remember going to the Drive In as a kid, my brother and I always wore our PJ's and we took a big bag of popcorn. The movie I remember seeing the best was E.T.

Anyway saturday we took our three kids and a friend of ours son, our neighbors and another friend of mine and her kids all went. It was a lot of fun. The kids all piled in the back of the truck with foam mats, blankets and pillows.

Toy Story 3 was great I almost cried at the end it was so touching, I can't wait to see it again! Shrek Forever After was good but I really like the first Shrek the best. I think it is worth seeing if you like Shrek but I wouldn't pay the movie theater prices, wait for the dollar movies or the DVD>

The Karate Kid

Last night a moth got in our house, O is deathly afraid of all bugs so this moth might as well have been a gun wielding maniac the way she screamed. B said, "I'll take care of it!." He ran to the kitchen rummaged through the drawer and came back with our barbecue tongs and ran around the living room trying to catch the moth with the tongs, Karate Kid with the chopsticks style. lol After about 10 minutes of laughing, I opened the front door and the moth left. It added a little excitement to our otherwise dull evening. :)

Free summer fun!

One of our favorite things to do is go to the movies and there is nothing better than the free Family Summer Series at Wehrenberg theaters. Last Thursday 6/17 we saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and today we are going to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. We own both of these movies but for some reason the kids enjoy them so much more in the theater and I enjoy getting out of the house!

Water Fight!!!

Tonight as the Mr got home we were outside with B while he was swimming in the little blow up pool. When all of the sudden they both turned on me and chased me around throwing buckets of water on me. It was fun but I was soaked from head to toe. Then the neighbor girl came over and after I changed her and B chased me into the house and they stood outside with buckets of water trying to convince me to come outside. I love summer!

My own Alex P Keaton

Anyone remember that 80's show Family Ties? Michael J Fox played Alex P Keaton the money hungry son. Well I often joke that B is Alex because he is definitely motivated by money. Sunday night the Mr bought some scratchers and let B and O each scratch one well they each won $10 so he took them to the gas station down the road and let them get their money. Today I was looking for some cash to pay the guy who cut our grass and I said to B where is your $10 and he said, "In my dollar drawer." I said, "Show me." He hesitated and begrudgingly agreed. We went back to his bedroom and the bottom of his bookcase has 4 small drawers he opened one and it was full of ones and the two fives he got Sunday. I started counting and he had at least $20 he wouldn't let me keep going. lol I took the $10 and started to walk out and he said, "Hey when are you going to pay me back?" lol I am proud of him for saving his money but am a little curious as to where it all came from... :)
