Chillin' with my homeboys

Yesterday, we spent all morning at home hanging out. Jacob played some Wii and watched a little TV before pulling out the projects. Jonah went and hung with Marna a Papa for awhile, and then he and Noah played at home and trashed the place. All in a typical Saturday.

Then, we went to the grocery store. We used our tried and true strategy--Divide and Conquer. My parents took Jacob and Jonah with promises of new Webkinz as bait. Noah came with me, which was not the most enticing plan for him as he is my errand boy on a regular basis. But, he did great.

After that, we had Costco pizza for dinner at home. My parents had picked up strawberries, so we had a great dessert.

Then, on to the party. The kids had been promised a fun night, but they figured it was a movie. But, my parents had searched long and hard for a copy of Mario Kart Wii. They had been saving it for a good time. This was it! The kids were so excited when they gave it to them. And, we all had a great time playing. At one point, Papa got frustrated and said "What IS that little fairy up there????" It was telling him he was going in the wrong direction. Hysterical. Noah, as it turns out, is the best driver of all. He easily beat everyone each time.

So, now we are all up early. Jonah's wakeup time has gotten progressively a little better, starting with 5:30 on Friday, 5:45 yesterday, and today, 6:15. I'm hoping it will be better tomorrow.

Today, the plan is church, Olive Garden (thanks, honey for the gift card!) and maybe mini golf as this looks to be the only day not promising rain until Friday. The kids will love it! They already opened the card Robb left us for today.

Until tomorrow...
