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.
