Holiday

Thank heavens for so many holidays during the second half of the school year. Towards the end of the 3rd quarter I always start researching homeschooling and wondering if I can convince all of my friends to start a home school coop with me because while I might be able to teach other people's children I most certainly cannot teach my own.

Sunday night before President's day, I stayed up late with my kids watching season one of Get Smart.

When we lived in Austria, my aunt Kristine sent us a tape of a Nick at Nite Get Smart marathon and I've loved the show ever since. I ended up buying all 5 seasons for my kids to watch in the car when we go on car trips, but I couldn't resist watching them. They are totally un-PC, but still as hilarious as I remember and my kids love them too.

The next day I took the boys for our movie date. I wanted to beat the crowd and go to a 9:30 am movie thinking no one could possibly be up that early on a holiday. Well the movie was actually at 9 and the theater was 75% full when we got there at 9:02, but we still managed to find good seats together and have a good time. Everyone also mocked me because I am a fanatic about being early to movies, but the world did not implode when I got there late.

Sadie has been dying to have an American Girl playdate with Avery, so we had her over to play.

Meanwhile Nate went over to play with Parker. It might be February, but it's still close to 90 most days, so the boys took a little polar dip.

And I guess it wasn't so little because they stayed in there for hours.
