Date Night...

Saw this last night....Loved it!!!

I said I never would.......

I can't believe it....I said I never would get one. I HATE video games! I'd much rather have my kids playing outside then sucked into a video game. But, desperate times call for desperate measures. I gave in, I got a Wii. I've decided that I have to have something to take away from children that misbehave. As Dr Phil says, I have to get to the heart of them. Take away something they love. And they LOVE the Wii! Everyone I know that has one loves it, so maybe I will eventually too. I'll be sure to post pictures of the Wiitards in the days to come, that is if they are ever not grounded from it!!!

New Shoes and Tutus....

Well, another busy week has flown by!! Time flys when you're having fun they say, and we've been having lots of fun lately so I guess that saying is true!!

Friday I took the kids shoe shopping. Boys wear out their shoes so dang quick it seems!! Brooklyn did not however need a pair of shoes to add to her collection, so she got this stinkin cute tutu instead!! I have to say she looks adorable in it! She loves to twirl and call herself pretty these days. Such a girly girl and I LOVE it!! I just hope it lasts!!

I painted her toes and fingernails for the first time the other day. She knew she was cute! She kept showing them off to everyone that would look. She held really still and waiting for them to dry. I guess all the time of sitting still while I do her hair each morning has helped!

This weekend Jason had his girls and I had mine, so we decided to head to Idaho Falls for the afternoon. We went to the Titanic exhibit at the Museum. It was super neat and the kids really enjoyed it! I defintely recommend it. It's open till September, so you have pleanty of time! After the Museum we did a quick stop at the mall (no easy feat with 5 kids!!!), then went to Toys R Us. I let my kids each pick out a toy, (with a little assistance for Miss B). This is what they each picked.....

Jackson picked something called Bakugan Brawlers. I tried my best to talk him out of it. They were $13.00 for 3 little balls!!! Are you kidding me?!?! But he has been in love ever since. It's all I've heard is Bakugan this and Bakugan that. And you wanna know the best part??? One is already broken....perfect

Kaden picked this...a peg horse. He even picked the one that didn't make noise specifically. So cute. He loves to gallop around on his horse that he has proudly named Peppy. Thought of the name all on his own.

And Brooklyn got this counting pig from Fisher Price. She has been packing it all over the house. Her brothers are even enjoying playing with it. Forget that it say up to ages 3.

The other thing Miss B has been into a lot since Christmas is babies. Anything babies she loves!! I caught her wiping her baby down with the wipes today. So cute!!!

And finally, to wrap up this really long post, this is what I saw when I got Brooklyn up from her nap earlier this week. I knew she loved her binki, but seriously??? 2 at once?? Maybe it's time to think about giving them up....Nah

No School??? Again???

Why does it seem to me that kids these days are out of school more often then they are in? Jackson has yet another 2 days off from school this week. That means more fighting, more tantrums, more screaming......we won't even mention what the kids do!! It's freezing here today, so the park is out of the question....hmmmmm does McDonalds care if you're there for 8 hours? We're going to try and hang in there...I may just loose my mind
