so, these pics are out of order for some reason, i didn't select them that way but whatever. For D's party, we finally got around to it about a month after his real bday. We had been sick the real bday week and that was a couple of weeks, then we were out of town, the i was not feeling well for a while...bUT we finally got around to it. He wanted to invite so many people, so he said we could just watch a movie. I thought, great...but then i looked at his list and thought....NOT GREAT! I didn't have room for that many kids in my front room! So, i got thinking and started begging off of my neighbors! I am getting good at that. ;-) Anyway, we did a movie in our backyard and the kids all loved it. It was a lot of kiddos, but i think the easiest party i have ever done and the kids had a lot of fun. So, it was a hit and now brad wants to buy our own projector and screen and do a movie a couple of times a month in our yard during the summers! I think it's a great idea...but we will have to start saving! It really was quite fun!







D's first week of scouts and can i just tell you.... HE LOVES SCOUTS!!! He wont leave me alone about it! In fact, they made rockets the last couple of weeks so we are having a rocket launch tomorrow, he is so excited he can't sleep! It is cute to see him so excited about it, and it gives him something other to do than always reading. Reading is good, don't get me wrong, but i can't get this kids nose out of the books!!!


And this is J making his own ziplock bag ice cream for a family night treat one week. The kids loved it! He put socks on his arms because the bag was so cold. Anyway, a lot of fun and of course tasted yummy!


this is from the movie for d's bday, i think they look like they are enjoying it!!!
