Movie Night

So, when the cousins were over, we did a lot of playing, and one night the moms and dads just needed some quiet time...so we had movie night! My wonderful friend Sayda found a darling blog that had this fun idea on it. She did it, so I thought I would do it too. We had a movie night! My sister Jen had the kids do a variety of things to earn their money. They cleaned, brushed teeth, read a book, etc. John set up the projector so the movie played on a big wall downstairs. Once they earned their money, they could buy a movie ticket and some concessions. It was so fun! And the moms and dads got some much needed quiet time!

It was a lot of fun - and most of the kids fell asleep before the movie was over, so I guess they needed some quiet time too! It was a fun time and thanks for the cute idea Sayda!

Cousins

We have loved being close to cousins this summer. I need to take more pictures when they are here so I have one of everyone. Jacee and Anna at the Triathlon. They sure are two peas in a pod.

Maddie loves all of her cousins. She is fascinated with baby Jada. She like to kiss her but baby Jada isn't too sure about that yet. We get to play with Trissy and Tayler every Wednesday, and all my kids look forward to it. And Trissy sure is a nice babysitter! (I got to go eat lunch with John today - with no kids. It sure was a leisurly relazing lunch!)

Yes, I know - another one. It is just too fun for the cousins to watch themselves - this group has actually practiced the dance and is doing it around the family room as we speak. Hopefully we'll find something else just as funny so we can do something different - but until then - enjoy and laugh!
