Super Saturday!!

The kids, Mimi and I have had one SUPER day!!! First we went to Lowe's to Build and Grow

it was an awesome game box with a chalkboard attached, it came with little games, chalk and a die too! My kids are already storing extra little treasures in it!

then it was off to McDonald's to eat happy meals and play on the toys.

a big treat these days, we have a lotta penny pinching going on so to get more than just fries for a snack is a special thing!

 Later we enjoyed a visit from our Auntie Shel,

always fun to see our auntie, funny though... after she left Marley was asking for Nate not Auntie Shel. lol.

 then went to watch Uncle Jesse and Uncle Dylan's basketball game

they won by ALOT. Somewhere around 61 to 30. Which means Uncle Jess didn't get to play much but it was fun anyways!... and I couldn't have asked for better behaved children. Score.

and while we were there we had popcorn and pop!

Two special treats in one day?!! How amazing is that! :)

Then it was home to eat dinner and have a dance party.

I have always loved dance parties, but my kids take the fun to a whole new level. Love, love, love dance parties with my kids. They crack me up and teach me some new moves!

After that we had frozen GoGurts and watched a movie... in Daddy's bed!! lol.
It was a Christmas movie, Quinn will not let Christmas end. Every day we pull into the driveway he asks me why I took our Christmas lights down and he tells me "no, it's christmas time, santa a coming back" haha. funny boy!

Hooray for Super Saturdays!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Yay 2011.

I am loving this new year. I realize it's only day 2, but so far I am accomplishing my main goal for this year... which is:  "To do the things I talk about doing". :) I have such good intentions and some really great ideas if only I would follow through with them... so,  I AM GOING TO!  In fact I have already done just that, three times!

I finally started my Girls Only Brunch Club. Our first official club meeting was at Olive Garden, wearing sweatpants. It was a blast. Only three other people came (and one of them was Shellie!), but it was New Year's Day -- so it was alot to ask people! haha. The four of us "Original Brunchers" had such a blast-- we all spent way too much on not so healthy food, and LOVED it. lol. I think we all advertised how great it was and joked about randomly discussed topics of brunch on our facebook pages, that we have a following now. I have high hopes for our next one!!

My second thing was to actually have our family dinner at the dinner table. It was amazing too. We had roast beef cooked in a sauteed mushroom and onion sauce, angel hair pasta, string beans, frog eye salad and deviled eggs. De-lish. I should be able to do it once a week. Fingers crossed for more, but I will be estatic with just Sundays.

Lastly, I did a small act of service each day. Can't tell you what they were or it's not service... it's bragging. :)

Hooray for the New Year and a New Me!!! :)
