Imagination Movers

We had a great weekend with lots of fun things.  Friday night we met up with our friends, Dave and Dana and their son, Joe, for supper at HuHot before heading to see the Imagination Movers at the Washington Pavilion.  We were so excited to see our great friends and spend some time with them.  The show was amazing and the kids even got VIP passes to meet the Movers and get their autographs.  Here are some highlights from the show:

Saturday night Eric and I took the girls to see the new movie, "Where the Wild Things Are".  We had bought the book a few days earlier and had spent every day reading it so we would know what the movie was about.  I thought it was okay.  Isabella said she loved it and thought it was really good and Mallory must have liked it because all I could see was her crying at the end.  She's so tender hearted-I love that about her.  I thought the book though was way better and that the movie didn't really depict the book very much.  But I was glad we went and I think we need to make "movie night" a weekly thing, either by going to the movies or staying in and watching the movies.  It is something we all enjoy doing as a family and I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my Saturday night. 

Yesterday, we didn't do much.  I wasn't feeling good in the morning so we stayed home from church.  While Eric was at work, the girls and I did some puzzles and made bracelets and just enjoyed some mommy-daughter time doing some girly things.  It was a great weekend spent with the people I love the most in this world!!

Homecoming

Mallory could hardly wait to get up this morning to dress up as a nerd for homecoming week.  It is all she talked about yesterday and had to keep reminding Eric and I about it.  Isn't she just the cutest nerd? 

I hope she has a really fun day as a nerd!

We had a pretty busy, pretty fun weekend. Friday night we enjoyed a supper out with the girls. It was only to the Sunset Grill in Round Lake, but still an enjoyable evening as a family. Saturday morning the girls and I went over to our neighbor's house to see our friend's new baby. Courtlynn Joy is absolutely adorable and it was so much fun being able to hold a new baby again. I even put her to sleep! It sure does give me quite the baby fever when I hold little ones. The girls had a great time playing with Noah and didn't even acknowledge that Gammy was there. Saturday night we went to Luverne to have supper with our friends, Shawn and Mandy. They treated us to a meal of halibut, green beans and cheesy potatoes with apple crisp for desert. Yum! And Shawn is a fan of my sausage-stuffed mushrooms so he convinced me to make him some so him and enjoyed them by ourselves and I was kind enough to leave him the left overs. The girls had a great time playing with their 3 little girls, Chrissy, Abby and Peyton. Hopefully their Baby No. 4 that will be arriving in November is a boy so Shawn has a little more testosterone in their house. And it'll be nice when the baby is born so Mandy won't feel like a "social retard" anymore!

Sunday we all attended church and helped with the little kids downstairs and then enjoyed a soup and sandwich lunch at Grandma's with Emily and John and the boys and Mom and Dad. The kids had fun playing downstairs and outside and it was nice being able to spend the day with my family.
