Disney, 26 miles and relaxing

This past week has been jammed packed. I had to go somewhere every night last week which made me exhausted! I also hosted Bunco last night so I spent all morning cleaning up and getting ready and it really didn't look very presentable! Thank goodness all of these ladies are good friends of mine and didn't care that my house is a pit! My brother and his family and our family was going to head to the cabin at the lake today to start getting it ready for the summer. However, it has been pouring rain all day. I have been such a bum. I skipped church (since I already thought I wouldn't be here), I did take a shower but I am right back in jammies, I have played on the computer and watched TV. Oh I did do laundry but I don't think of that really as anything since I do it constantly anyway!

Friday night my sister-in-law, Jill and I took the boys and my nieces to Disney on Ice. It was really cute. We were only five rows up so we had great seats and got to see everything. I almost took Addy with me but I am so glad I didn't, it would have scared her I think. We didn't eat before we got there and I told the boys since it was a special night out they could get something at the show. The first thing they saw was snow cones. I thought what they hey, it's a night out right??? I waved down the concession guy and told him 2 snow cones. The boys dug in and I was told "That will be $20." WHAT??? Seriously $20 for two tiny things of ice??? The boys are already started so they were theirs to keep. The guy told me that it came in a really cool Dash cup with an Elastagirl spoon, well worth $10! Yeah right! Oh well, we headed to Burger King after the show!! We really enjoyed it, Avery loved to watch Frozone and Cooper liked when we told the bad robots where to go by pointing the directions for them. Cooper said it was fun because "I'm not allowed to point because it's rude, right mom?" He's too funny!

Cooper also came home from school this week with his Shook Track Pack shirt. Kids earn a shirt by running laps at recess. Once they have run 26 miles they earn a shirt! It's voluntary for kids to do during their first recess. I'm so proud of him way to go Cooper!
Addy was playing on her Little Mermaid car this morning, she's too funny. When she first got it she would scream every time we put her on it. Now she just plays the music and laughs. She can even move it on the hardwood floor. Backwards, but she can move it by herself!

So much fun. How nice that the school encourages kids to exercise. Thats a great thing.

I almost came to see you. Sounds like this was not the weekend for visitors anyway. :) Maybe next time (We took a spontaneous trip to Branson and just got home tonight.)
