Got Toys?

Ryan wanted to help Harvey in the yard today so he ran back in the house to get his ‘work’ boots on…apparently he helped Erik as well!

 Today was the day.  Ryan decided that he did indeed want to go to his first movie…Toy Story 3.  After much pondering he finally decided he wanted to see it, but things have been so busy I just kind of forgot.  He reminded me a couple of days ago so I started looking at the theaters around us to see where it was showing.  NOWHERE!  Because of course, it came out two months ago!  I finally tried the theater closest to our house and they are having it until the end of the week!  It was more intense than I expected but Ryan loved it (sitting on my lap for the entire movie.)  The last time I went to a movie in the theater I was pregnant with Ryan (pitiful I know) so it was fitting to have him in the same spot or thereabouts.

Now that he knows they have a ‘snack shack’ of their own, he’ll be a regular!

Got Mud? It Does a Body Good!

Hey, the quiz is up on the right sidebar.  Take it!  More than one person can take it from the same household.  It will be up for a couple of days.

Over the last few years there has been a lot in the news about kids not playing in the dirt enough and the importance of building up their immunities.  Just to set your minds at ease about our kids:

With all of the activities this weekend we went with a small celebration though it was huge in our hearts.  Our special aunties came and our friends Torey and Carson were here.

We didn’t get home until after ten last night so we slept in and then Uncle Carson made us a fabulous breakfast!  What’s not to love about waffles made with fresh bacon grease!!! : )

The Quiz:

Since our weekend was so crazy I put the quiz off until tomorrow.  We went way high-tech!  All you need to do is click on the link and a quiz will pop up.  First question is for your first name.  This is all the information that I (or anyone else) will get.  You don’t have to enter any addresses or other I.D.  A list of questions will follow, each with three choices which you simple click on.  I will put the quiz up tomorrow and give you a couple of days.  All of the participants who get all of the answers correct will be put in a hat and Erik will choose the winner.  Won’t you look cool…
