45 Days

I took the big boys to the movies. Storks was playing for free. Let's just say we are all glad we didn't pay to see it.

Day 180

Today I pulled out a Baby Einstein DVD set that I was going to list for sale. Of course, then Lincoln wanted to watch it. OMG, they were soooo excited about everything on the dvd. They pointed out every shape, color, toy, animal they saw. The first one wasn't even in English and they loved it. Harrison was walking around saying "shalom" for about a half hour. I guess I'll keep them.

Day 179

35 weeks and Amelia is the length of a pineapple! She's getting big!!

We went to see "Finding Dory". We went to the first showing of the day, and gave them lots of snacks. Lincoln did great. Harrison sat good until he got antsy with about 20 minutes left of the movie, but he was easily persuaded with candy. They both sugar crashed on the way home lol

Day 108

Disney movie night #2 - Star Wars the Force Awakens

We had Yoda Soda (Lincoln liked it), Han-burgers & Vader Tators.

Of course we had to have lightsaber fights. It came down to Daddy & Harrison, and Daddy won. Can't believe he felt good taking down a one year old.

Then we watched the movie. Lincoln fell asleep a half hour in, woke him up 15 minutes later, and then he sorta watched it. He liked the bad guys of course. Harrison ran around like a crazy person (no surprise) and Ethan begged to leave half way through. Typical!

Day 79

Today we went to see Zootopia. We went to the earliest show in hopes that Harrison (who was up from 12:30 - 4:30 would nap. He did not. Lincoln did great, he loved the movie, sat nice, ate his popcorn. Harrison went crazy lol. He was trying to wave and say "HIIIIIII" to everyone in the theater. He tried to escape a few times and Ethan had to chase him down, and I had to take him out of the theater once. He literally fell asleep in the last two minutes.

October 9

We had a fun day today! We tried to pretend that it was actually fall and not 85* outside, but that wasn't working too well since we were all in shorts. We did have a pumpkin shaped pizza last night, it wasn't very good. After we got it, I went back and read my blog entry from last year and we didn't like it then either LOL


This morning was a Lowe's Build to Grow project. Ethan is still loving them! He's up to 4 patches already :) Today's project was a fun house mirror. It's pretty cute, just a little mylar mirror that you can move up and down to distort your face.

After Lowe's we headed over to the free movie theater on post and watched "Kung Fu Panda". It's an older movie, in fact, we saw it on E's 3rd birthday. He hated it then, but I think mostly because he was too little to sit still at the movies. Today he liked it a lot better :) We stopped before the show and got candy & sodas at the commissary.....first he lost the cap to his drink in the theater and then he spilled his orange soda all over my white pants. I was quite sticky, and they insisted on stopping at GameStop and the commissary on the way home.


E has a responsibility chart that he does every week. He gets to pick his reward - usually it's going out for ice cream, but this week he picked a present. He's been very into LEGOs lately, especially playing with the little figures. I found a whole pile of their heads in his bedroom the other day - creepy yes, but he was playing with toys! Anywho, they have a collection of just minifigures right now. It's a mystery which one you get, and you are supposed to collect them all. He got some of them as his reward. His favorite is the lifeguard, but I like the vampire best. They're all pretty darn cute though.

My new favorite thing to do.....

is to go to the free movie theater on post! It's 10 times bigger and cleaner than the local movie theater, and it cost us $10. It would have been a lot less had I not let Bill wait in the line for concessions by himself, he came back with 2 big sodas & popcorn. We took Ethan to see "The Princess and the Frog" as he's been wanting to see it since it came out, but we went to see "Alvin & The Chipmunks" instead when we were in Kenosha. It was really cute, and he sat good through the whole movie. The little girl in front of us had a princess dress on, and of course he noticed right away. He kept telling me how pretty she looked. Once the movie started though, he was totally into it. His favorite part was of course, when the frog princess turns back into a human, and has on a beautiful dress. I think my son might be a fashion designer when he grows up =p

We'll definately be checking out future listings. I would rather wait a few months and go see it here than pay a crazy amount and sit in a tiny dirty theater :P
