Cheesecake is the winner!

The votes are in and CHEESECAKE is the winner! Hooray, I do love cheesecake. Did you know in Tawain they eat it for breakfast? Man, I need to move! Ice Cream Sundae came in second with rootbeer float, and browines to follow....no one voted for pie. Be sure to vote on the new poll of your favorite fast food resturant.

All in all....a pretty good day!

Today was much better than our "duct tape to the wall" yesterday. We had a fun filled day and I thought I'd share it with you so you don't think I'm a wicked mom who really uses duct tape! The day started bright and early around 6:15 or so. Carson got to say hi to daddy before he left for work. Hooray! How Carson and Hailey love their daddy. We sang songs, and read some books, then playgroup was at our house today. Carson loves playing with Luke! Carson was sad Bella was sick because he wanted Ally to come too! The kids are so cute running around together! Then we headed to the Wendy's in Kingwood for their Story Time. It was pretty cool. I had heard about it from Kingwood Yard Sales online, and convinced Erin and Luke to come and check it out with us. It went pretty well. It starts off with face/hand painting, then they do a craft, then it's storytime (kids get free frosties...and the parents too!), and finally it's balloon animals. Carson had a few out of control moments, but for the most part did pretty well. Hailey loved it too. After that we came home and Hailey took a nap while Carson watched part of Tarzan for quiet time. Daddy got home from work and we went running. We ran a little over 3 miles today. Over 4 miles if you include the warm-up and cool-down. After sweating about 6 buckets of water we came back ate dinner, bathed the kids and now I'm enjoying a little free time to myself while Bridger catches up on a little work. Enjoy the photos! Hope you all had a great day too!

Carson wanted Elmo painted on his hand.

Carson got a Balloon Sword (he kept holding the wrong end, but oh well...he had a blast with it)

Hailey being ADORABLE...like always.

Yes...that is Carson climbing the entertainment center in the back.

These are some photos from the other day. We got these stickers in the mail trying to get us to buy something. Carson put them all on his shirt. He was pretty pleased with himself.

Then he put them in a circle on Daddy's shirt!

Oh course Hailey wanted in on the camera action!

Clocks & Duct Tape

Okay it's another venting post...don't continue reading if you don't want to hear complaints. First of all...what is up with all the clocks in my house? Every single one says it's a different time? How in the world am I supposed to know what time it is? For example...if my computer says it is 2:03 pm. my cell phone would say 1:58 p.m., the kitchen 2:04, the security system 1:59, the thermostat 1:56, my alarm clock 2:01, Bridgers alarm clock 2:02, our bathroom clock 2:02, Hailey clock 2:07, guest room 1:59, upstairs bathroom clock has been stuck at 10 for days, and my running wrist watch 2:04. Therefore, if I am ever eleven minutes late or early to an event...I should be considered on time depending on what clock I go by. Does anyone else have every clock in their house at a different time? Maybe I will change them all to read the same time. Second issue...found the duct tape...considering using it to tape the kids to the wall (Okay not really..but you get what kind of day we are having)! Anyone have a better idea than duct tape?

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!

I know I just posted yesterday, but I have to tell you what a beautiful morning it is! I was thinking it wouldn't be so great when Carson was knocking on his door around 6:15 this morning, and knocked so loud he woke up Hailey. But Hailey went back to sleep, and I convinced Carson to go back to sleep with me on my bed. Well the kids slept until 8! Yes that's right, I said 8! WOO HOO! That NEVER happens around here! I feel so rested. I am ready for a good day, hopefully accomplishing a lot. I hope everyone else had sweet dreams too!

Movies

So we have watched a few movies recently....thought I'd share some reviews for you.

1. Enchanted - LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT. It has great music, a great story, and good acting (nothing like a nicolas cage movie...sorry if anyone likes him but I think he is a horrible actor!) If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT TONIGHT! I am thinking about buying the soundtrack because I liked it so much.
2. I am Legend - DID NOT LIKE IT. Most people really liked this show. I am a MAJOR Will Smith fan, and was really excited to watch this show. I was expecting a little suspense and drama. I was not expecting scary and horror. To some of you who may have seen this and disagree, let me explain...I don't do scary movies. We watched this Saturday night and last night was the first night I did not have nightmares. I even woke up Bridger in the middle of the night to get Hailey who was crying because I didn't dare get out of bed in the dark. The zombies in it were creepy/devilish looking. The storyline - being the last one in the world was interesting with the twist they put on the show. Overall - would not suggest it if you are sensitive and don't like scary.
3. Work and the Glory III - LIKED IT. Bridger and I have seen the first two a long time ago, but we finally watched the third show last night. I have really enjoyed these films. Although the third one was not my favorite it was really good. I would suggest watching all of them.

Since we watch movies for date nights do you have any suggestions? I kind of want to see Nancy Drew. I read all those books growing up. Anyone seen it yet?

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! I hope you all had a fabulous Easter yesterday. Our day was nice. After church we had a picnic in our backyard and then laid on a blanket for a while outside. It was really nice weather. Of course the Easter Bunny had left a few things for Carson and Hailey. Here are some photos.

We decided to try and take some family photos on our own.

Um...trying to get two kids to smile and look at the camera is pretty tough when you've got the camera on auto. These two are the best shots we got.

Fun Pictures

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. The camera is now working, yeah! Here are some photos of the kids.

Carson took this photo with just a little help from the tripod. Good job Carson!
