MOPS Friday

Today was another MOPS day. It was fun to get out and see the other moms. The speaker today was great. It was all about keeping your toddler busy and thus keeping yourself sane! Ha ha! A lot of this I have heard before, but a refresher course in keeping kids happy is always welcome.

We have a fun night planned. We are going to start having Friday nights be game nights. We will break out the Sorry, Operation, and any other games the kids want to play. It is a nice way to wind down the week. Now I have to get back to cleaning so things are calm for the start of the weekend.

TGIF!

TGIF!

The boys and I just got back from MOPS. It was a wonderful time as usual. The boys were really good and after the meeting we met MomOf2Boys outside for a picnic lunch. It was nice and relatively cool in the shade. The boys had fun playing and we had fun chatting. We don't got to Lifetime Fitness on Fridays. One week from today my Mom will be in town and we are counting the days! Princess will be home in about a half and hour so I better get back to getting the house in shape for the weekend.

Speaking of the weekend, we have been invited to play cards over at another family's house. We get together with them every once and a while. They have a daughter a couple of years older that Princess and a son who is a freshman in high school. The boys just adore him! Pitch is usually the name of the game but sometimes we can talk them into playing euchre, a game near and dear to my heart because we play it every time we go home.

Have a great weekend!

Princess's Last Day of Summer Vacation!

We have had a good summer. It is sad to see it come to an end, but we have made lots of fun memories.

To celebrate Princess's last official day of summer vacation, we had a popcorn party, at Princess's request. We watched Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses (yes, the boys actually do watch this with her!), ate popcorn and drank lemonade.

I think it hit home today for the Prince that Princess will be going back to school. Really, the Prince and the Princess need some time away from each other. They will end up getting along better in the end and I think the Knight and the Prince will play much better this year.

I am posting some pictures of our popcorn party.


TGIF!

Friday of B & BZ's visit!

Our house was in an uproar on Friday! The kids were so eager to have Uncle B and Auntie BZ arrive that it didn't even seem like the first day off of school for the Princess! During naptime, Princess got her tent out so I could wash sheets in her room, the room that would be B and BZ's as long as they were here. They arrived even earlier than expect and we were ready! Princess had jumped into the bath and wanted to dress up to the 9s that night. After playing with the kids and getting them to bed, we grilled some steaks and played some cards. We didn't actually finish our game but we had an interesting intermission. DadOf3 and Uncle B decided to call Auntie J. We woke her up so they were in deep trouble! It is so nice to see family!
