1st Sleepover!!

We had Nicole's daughter, Makalyn, spend the night last night and it just so happened to be Riley and Trevor's 1st sleepover! They were all very excited about it! We went to eat at Panda Express and then walked to the store where each girl picked out their very own bag of candy! You can imagine how thrilled they were :)

Then we headed home and watched cartoons and danced and the girls snacked on some of their candy. They played with their dolls, and were very sweet in including Trevor and Ireland. We made a big bed on the floor with blankets and pillows, read books, said our good-nights and gave kisses. They all slept so good and even let us sleep in a little til 8:15! This morning they all chose to have oatmeal and milk for breakfast and then they beaded their own bracelets. They were sooo proud of them!

It was so fun watching them all interact and have fun and I know this is just the beginning to many a sleepovers, and I am honestly looking forward to it!

I know I know, Im obsessed but I can't wait for tonight on Big Brother to see if Jeff uses the Coup 'deta (or however it's spelled)to take Russell and Lidia off the block and put up Jesse and Natalie!!! I hope hope hope he does! Tune in...it's on at 7:00 tonight...but if you miss it you know we will have it recorded in this household :)

Not Me Mondays!!!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Sooooo I have decided to take it on myself since I enjoy reading her's so much and of course don't do any of those things!!!

I did not feed my kids cereal and raisin toast for dinner last night because I was sooo tired and daddy worked all day so I wanted to not make my life easier, nope not me!

I did not leave a basket full of clean clothes and 2 huge piles of clean clothes all in the laundry room because I was too lazy to put them alll away, nope not me!

I of course did not let the kids climb into the bed in the middle of the night with us because we were so exhausted and did not want to risk waking the 3rd child. Nope we did not give into their screaming and crying and pull them up so we could all just fall back asleep for a few more hours, nope not me!

Day at the Lake

We went to the lake yesterday just the 5 of us and Lexi. We had fun...it was hot but not too hot, perfect for sunbathing and wading in the water. Josh was generous enough to let us use the wave runner and we had lots of fun with that as always. And my sister could eat, sleep and breathe on that thing! Ireland wasn't so sure about the water at first but soon started splashing and picking up rocks. Riley and Trevor played with their shovels and pails and Trevor always loves to go on the wave runner! All in all it was a nice relaxing Saturday.

Afterwards, Nana and Grandpa watched the kids and Zach and I went on a much needed date! The kids have not been sleeping too well and we've been sooo tired so it was nice to have a night out and a full night's sleep(even if only for 1 night). We splurged and went to Fat's and enjoyed their delicious honey walnut prawns and adult drinks :) Then we caught a showing of The Ugly Truth which was pretty funny. We got home and you're probably guessing you know how the night ended...or how its supposed to end on a "date night", but it didn't! We caught up on a little Big Brother and hit the sheets...literally falling right asleep!!! I guess we'll make up for it another time.........

Concert in the Park!

We have been to Concert in the Park for the last 2 Fridays nights and we really love it! It is such a fun atmosphere with all the families, kids running around playing and dancing, people bbqing and great bands! The kids have such a fun time and the best part is it's FREE! That's always a plus for us!
