A Night Out with My Girls

By -
Last week, I received a call inviting Bryan & Adam on an 11yr old boy scout campout. They decided that it would be a fun activity, so they disappeared last weekend. The girls got very excited & asked, "What should we do for Girls' Night?" Well, we definitely made the MOST out of our "Girls' Night Out". First, we took off for dinner @ IHOP. I got one free kids meal, though. I guess for April, you get a free kids meal for every adult meal you buy. Cool.Lovin' it up...You're hugging me too hard!Then, where else do girls go that boys complain about? The mall, of course! And of course, there are gumball machines @ EVERY entrance, so the girls convinced me to give them each a quarter. I know...I'm a sucker. Hey, it's "Girls' Night".
We went to Old Navy for sandals. We had to do our best poses with the mannequins.Cute, huh?We did get some new clothes from Kohls...And what trip to the mall would be complete without a cookie from Mrs. Fields?COOKIE!I was questioning my sanity by the end of the evening, but the girls had a great time. After leaving the mall, we went home & the girls watched Barbie & the 12 Dancing Princesses. I think they stayed up until almost 10pm. They went to bed & slept in until almost 8am (trust me, usually they're up @ 6:30am). I was glad, because I stayed up until midnight to finish the 5th Fablehaven book. It was awesome.
It was great to spend the evening together, but I think my next "Girls' Night" will be with big girls. Any takers?

My kids always hit me up for the gumball/candy machines when we go to mall also. And I usually give in as well. We ARE suckers! It looks like you gals had a great time. I'm looking forward to a little girls night out when Dane and Porter go on the father's and sons camp-out next month. WooHoo!

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache...

Mommy Mia!

Yesterday, I was on the computer checking my email. Allison was napping & the girls were watching TV just in the next room. I could hear that they were playing Mommy & Baby. I could hear Mia telling Adelaide that she was stinky & Adelaide replying in her "baby voice" that yes, she was poopy. This interupted me & I asked about it. I only half heard something about not "real mom" I mean "pretend mom". (This is rather a regular occurrence in our house.) I don't know what exactly made me peek over the couch, but this is what I found - "Mommy" & "Baby" (complete with bottle). "Mommy Mia" was changing " Baby Adelaide's" diaper! Just a couple of problems: Mo mmy didn't take off baby's diaper, she just put the new one over the top of the old - Second, it was Allison's diaper, there fore 2 sizes too small. They were laughing & so cute I couldn't help but laugh.
