Checking In!

It has been another fun day in FamilyOf5Land! For the first time in three weeks, the kids and I took advantage of the free movies in our fair city. Once again it was a rainy day and we were happy to have something to do inside. See here and here and here for our other movie ventures!

Miney and Moe were none too pleased to be banished to the master bathroom (the only tiled and enclosed room) with their kitty litter, food and water while we were at the show. They were however very pleased when we came home. They have fount their "purrrs" and know how and when to use them! They were quite pitiful when we came home and made sure that we realized their neglect. Ha! These kitties are very lucky - they will be pampered and well loved for as long as they live!

The kids were the best they have ever been at the movies this summer. I wasn't even sure that we would make it to the movie this morning. We all slept in until around 8:00, DadOf3 included! Usually the Prince is up by 6:30 or 7:00, but he and the Princess were up being naughty last night. Because it is summer time, DadOf3 and I let it go unless they disturb the Knight. They were seriously up until 10:30, when DadOf3 and I headed for bed.

The kids and I saw The Rugrats Movie. It was released in 1998 so it was definitely not a new flick. It was however, quite entertaining! Everyone was into this movie. My 6 year old proclaimed as we left the theater that it was "the best movie we have ever seen!" While, I would not go that far, it was cute. It had a good message: baby brothers are not as bad as they seem.

I am half way through the new Harry Potter book. Since book 4, I have been one of the 1.5 million people who have pre-ordered the latest and greatest Harry Potter book. As with the others, I have not been disappointed this time around! I do wish I had some more time to read however. The only time I get is after everyone has gone to bed, usually 11:00 until 1:00 or 2:00 or until I fall asleep with the book on my lap. Yes, I have been dragging all week, and yes it has been worth it! I cannot wait to see what happens tonight!
