Two Thumbs Down

Dave and I went to see The Wolfman today and I hate to
say it, but it wasn't really that good. I love scary movies and
was looking forward to seeing this, but it wasn't even scary!
Oh, well... I should have known.

Happy Birthday Peyton!

9 years ago on February 11th, God gave Dave and I the sweetest,
most wonderful gift- a little girl with beautiful red hair!

Happy Birtday to our beautiful, sweet and loving daughter! Peyton you are an amazing big sister and I know that God gave us Boy Boy just so he could be cared for by you!! You bring so much happiness to our family! (Sass and drama, too!!) You keep Daddy "hip" and always let him know which clothes are good to wear. You frequently send me back upstairs to change my clothes so that I don't embarrass you that day. You play with your little brother more than any other child I know and you don't do it because I make you do it, but because you actually enjoy playing with him! He already has hundreds of fabulous memories of you and he's only 6! You are always honest with me when I ask your opinion (brutally honest!)but I love it! You are sweet and kind and care about other's feelings. You are sensitive and thin-skinned, but are tough and competitive, too!! Dad and I love you so much!! We are so proud of you !!!
Happy Birthday, Peyton!

The Rest of the Party

After presents and cupcakes, Peyton gave out her gifts to the girls-
these cute initial jackets. I have a feeling that 4 little girls will be
sporting the same look Monday morning at school! :)

This was the morning after:
How funny!! I have never gotten the "stink eye" from Virginia- EVER! And it looks as though this was the day! Sarah Kate got up at 6:45; Peyton and Abbie got up at 7:45; and they woke up Virginia at 8:30. (for the record, I don't think she was ready to get up!!) Yes, I think I was plucking everyone's nerves with my camera so early in the morning! I kept telling them that someday when they were much older they would thank me!

At least Abbie and Boy Boy wake up happy!!

The Dance Party started of pretty good and the girls were having fun.
Since I was having to video and take pictures, I wasn't able to get out there and dance!
Everyone missed a real treat!!! Although, the adult dancing was over right after it began because of this performance:


Peyton was incredibly embarrassed and wanted us to go into the other room and leave them alone! I kept telling her what good dancers we are and that she is a lucky girl to have such cool parents! I was talking to my mom and she quickly let me know that if we have to TELL Peyton that we are cool- WE'RE NOT!!! So what if I pretended to be the fish that Dave caught? No one wanted to get me on film, but I was good!! Oh, I've got some moves...
Soooo, we were banned from the Dance Party AND from coming within 10 feet of the playroom. Whatever... I was getting tired anyway. Dave went up to bed and I caught up on some Judge Judy's that I missed last week.

All in all, it was a super fun time and the girls had a blast!

The Cutest Movie!!

Next Thursday is Peyton's birthday, so she took a couple of
friends to see Tooth Fairy today. Oh my goodness, that was such
a cute movie!! I loved it! It was just a funny, feel good movie.

Dave, Cade and I were told that we needed to sit a few rows behind the girls.
Wow- I knew the day would come when Peyton would be embarrassed of us,
but I didn't realize it would be before her 9th birthday!!
Although, funny how you're too cool for your old mom until you need something
out of the huge candy stash in her purse!!

Virginia, Abbie, Sarah Kate and Peyton

Also, before Tooth Fairy started we saw a trailer for this:

We love these books! They are pretty funny and it looks like the movie will be, too!

Alright, our evening is just beginning- I have 4 VERY EXCITED little girls and 1 excited 5th wheel! (Poor Boy Boy!!) So, it's pizza, cupcakes, presents and a big dance off on the agenda for this evening. Can't wait to get my groove thang on!!! :)


Another Snow Day

This was the view at 6:15 this morning. Now it's just raining.
This is snow day #4 for the kids this week!
