KungFu Panda 2...Trip to the Movies

Tim and I took TJ and his best friend Lex to the movies today. They came over and dropped off Lex before the movie and then they took Anna back to their house.

TJ and Lex loved it! Only took two trips to the bathroom and they sat through the whole thing until the end when all the fighting was going on. They wanted to get up and do the moves too.

And yes....I was the lady who brought her camera to the movie theater.

That's them showing us their kungfu moves!

Scottish Festival 2011

Every year we have gone to the Scottish festival. Since our kids are young we don't get to spend as much time out there as we would like. Although the heat keeps us far away until the sun is almost gone. This year we planned to go out there around dinner time so we could eat some of the yummy food and then stay for an hour or so until it was time for the kids to crash. I had arranged for the kids to go to my parents house so Tim and I could continue to hang out.

We got there at 6 and the walk from the car to the front gate about kills you with the heat. As soon as we walked in Anna was done. She started crying and got extremely uncomfortable. We made one trip around and got our food. Jan and Kenny helped keep Anna entertained until Tim and I were done eating. Anna fought sleep for a while but finally crashed around 7:30.

Tim's parents were in town for the Scottish Festival and this was the only chance we were going to be able to see them over the weekend. They were stuck in a class shortly after we got there and couldn't get out. We kept the kids out there a little while longer so they would get to spend a few minutes with them.

About a month ago they announced that the festival will be moved to the beginning of May. It will be a lot cooler for sure.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Matching!

Anna fell asleep on daddy. Tim's kilt doesn't fit anymore so he is waiting until possible next year to buy a new one. He was actually called the incredible shrinking man. hehe

Me and my cousins. we had a great time.

Fun to None

We got home from work and TJ wanted to go play outside. TJ and I headed out to go play. I took my camera because he said he wanted to show me how hard he could hit the baseball. Once I got out there he didn't want to play baseball anymore so he was just running around having fun.

He asked if I could push him in his "EeAww wee" aka Horse Swing. I helped him up and started pushing him.

Having a great time except he wasn't going as high as he wanted too. So I decided I'll take it down and try to move it and see if I can get it to swing higher. I pull it down and TJ says "oh mommy, a bug!" I take a look and OH MY! I grab TJ so fast and take him inside.

There was a wasp nest with a huge wasp on it. Yikes. I of course grab my camera to take a picture. After taking pictures I try to spray wasp killer on it but the can was almost empty so I basically made it mad. Now we are inside playing...haha
