Day 4 Dinner with Aunt Shirley and a Movie

Well today was movie day and boy did we have fun. Once we were up for the morning and fed we headed out the Blaine to go see my Aunt Shirley and visit her until the movie. We got there around 10:00 and immediately the kids ran off to play on the organ in her living room. They pounded and tapped out beats that only a mother, (or aunt) could love. While they snag, danced and played Shirley and I visited and caught up with each other. When they were bored with that Shirley brought out a bucket of crayons/marker and coloring books for the kids so we got to keep talking while they colored, keeping them busy is a full time job.

She is very good at coloring

After awhile Shirley went to pick up Chelsae, who was going with us later to the movie, and that gave Serenity and Logan to show me what they had been practicing on the organ. One danced and sang while the other banged out a tune. It was pretty cute watching them bop and jam to the music in the heads. Logan sang about a Dragon that wanted to eat potato's and Serenity sang about sunshine and a mean girl all while doing an Irish river dance.

Look at those feet move

An oh so serious composer

Here comes the hungry Dragon at your door

Caught you

She actually had a really good beat going, get her into piano lessons

Once Shirley and Chelsea got back it was time to make lunch so we could get to the movie on time. While the kids went outside to play with Dixie and Chelsea, Shirley and I set out the fixings for sandwiches, cucumber salad, fresh beans, grapes and chips. Once set we sat down and had a nice lunch with family. After lunch we sent the kids outside again and enjoyed some more quite time to visit. A little before we left for the movie I pulled out the cupcakes we had made so we could all enjoy them. Then before we knew it it was time to head out for the movie.

Once at the movie, G-Force 3D, I had to explain to the kids that the glasses we got were for the movie and it would make things jump out from the screen. With the last preview done we put on our glasses and got ready for the show. The kids were excited with the first image to come out at them and that was just a count down for the movie. All through the movie they thought that it was so cool to wear glasses, even thought Logan's were a little too big for them. We made it thought the whole movie without a single bathroom break, which I was very proud of them for.

OK really they looked dorky and so did I

Once the movie was over we went to drop Chelsea off at home which was just around the corner. Unfortunately Chelsea forgot her key and her parents were not home yet. SO we had to run back to Shirley's house and pick up her key, which took awhile because she was sleeping. Once we had her key it was back to Chelsea's house to drop her off.

Finally we were home again but we had no idea as to what to make for supper. I solved that by ordering pizza and within an hour we were sitting down to eat and watch Beauty and the Beast. after that being that it was still early they wanted to watch Lady and the Tramp and being that it was only 8:30 i figured why not. By 10:00 I figured that they would be tired, nope they wanted to stay up until midnight. We compromised by me letting them watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua in bed, where I thought they would fall asleep, I figured wrong, The movie just ended about 5 mins ago and they are still awake. Oh well they should sleep really good tomorrow night which is good for me.

So tomorrow is the last day and if it doesn't rain we head to Como Zoo/Como Town for the day with Misty and Jacob. I can;t believe the week has went by so fast but it has been tons of fun for me and them. So until tomorrow night, Good Night.
