Chuck E. Cheese & Free Ice Cream

Last weekend Ryan had to work, so I drove to Utah by myself with the kids to celebrate my moms birthday and my nephew Drew's 3rd b-day. The drive went well, I was actually pleasantly surprised how good the kids were. I may actually do it again, I don't want to jinx myself though! That night we went to Crown Burger for my moms b-day her favorite and one of mine too. Saturday we had to go to funeral for a family friend, it was sad unfortunate situation, but I was really glad I could be there to support their family. Later that day we went to Chuck E. Cheeses for Drew's little party. This is what the girls had been waiting all week for. It was pretty crowded but ended up being great. Everyone had a lot of fun and got tons tickets so we could buy plenty of "junk" what else could you ask for. It was a good weekend.

The kids and Chuck "E"

The birthday boy

Ellie was pretty stoked about all her tickets she won at the fish game
Bailey really liked this bike that you pedal to make you go high

Last week Bailey had a her annual Girl Scout Thinking Day. Her troop did the country of Scotland. Each troop was in charge of a different country and then the girls go around with their passports to get a stamp from each country and look at the different cultures. I think it is a really cool activity I loved going around looking at the different presentations.
Afterward we went to Cold Stone for some free ice cream. My friend filled me in on the fact that if you stopped by that night the kids got free ice cream and adults were $1.50 with mixin's which is a great deal. Bailey got cotton candy with gummy bears and peanut butter cups (yummy ;) ) I decided to just get the yogurt sorbet stuff with a brownie. I had a bite of Bay's and told her that hers was much creamier than mine, she said "well that is because you got the healthy kind." I said, "true I did but we have had a lot of treats lately so I thought I better get that kind." She said, "well mom ice cream is a treat and you only have it sometimes, so its okay to not have the healthy kind." My own advice right back in my face. I didn't even tell her what kind I got, I have no idea how she new that kind was supposedly healthier. Crazy kid!

She loves to stick her face into things like cupcakes, ice cream, you name it.

She thinks she is hilarious.
Again I say.....Crazy Kid!

Freezer = Extra Storage + Hours of Fun

We got a new freezer this week. We have been needing one for a while. It is just nice to have the extra storage plus I have a lot of "extra milk" around these days that needs a home. It fits great in the garage. But more importantly the box has provided hours of entertainment for the girls and a lot of kids in the neighborhood. They spent most of the day in it yesterday decorating it with tissue paper, cutting out doors and windows, coloring the inside making it look fabulous. They spent a lot of time in it today after church too. Bay drew a TV on the wall today and found an old remote we had laying around to use in it. So if you need a new freezer you may want to save the box and wrap it up for Christmas : )
