Darby O' Gill and the Little People

The movie we watched on for our movie night last night was...

We had us a little bit of the Irish food.

We had...

Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes

and...

soda bread

and...

a pot o' gold

Shelby loved the corned beef, but Tyra did not.  I made her try it anyway.

The girls weren't really into this movie and once Tyra started to get into it the banchie came out and scared her.

The girls both gave me an it's ok movie.

I think they will be excited for next weeks movie.

Tyra's Little Birthday Party

We didn't have a huge birthday party for Tyra we just invited some friends and family and called it good.

We had Jill and her girls there, Shannon with her children, Grandma Raytha and Grandma Chick showed up.

It was a nice quiet, not so stressful birthday party, which was good cause I wasn't feeling very well.

Tyra wanted a Pokemon cake from Dairy Queen, so that is what she got.

The kids had a good time playing outside on the trampoline.

Tyra really liked her presents.

 Thanks you guys for coming and celebrating Tyra's birthday with her.

Family Movie Night

Tonight's family movie night was...

I was a little worried about watching this movie.  I didn't like it when I was a kid and haven't watched it since.  I didn't know how my kids would take watching this movie.  They were pretty excited about this movie, so I decided that we would just watch it.  It wasn't as bad as I remembered it, still a little weird but not as creepy.

For dinner we had Blue Blueberry pancakes, eggs and sausage links.  We enjoyed some chocolate milk as well.

After dinner we ate strawberries, apples and angel food cake dipped in chocolate.  The girls mostly ate the angel food cake while I enjoyed the strawberries.

And of coarse you can't have a Willy Wonka party without Wonka candy.

We had lots of it!

The girls enjoyed the movie.  They said they kind of liked it but thought it was weird.  We had a fun night, but now the sugar rush is over and they are cranky and fighting.  Maybe next week we wont have so much sugar.

Pirate Movie Night

We did our pirate movie night last night.  I think it turned out pretty good.

We had us some pirate food, which was,

Fried Fish (fish sticks)

Fish & Chips (potato chips & goldfish crackers)

Sea Foam (chip dip)

Scurvy Dogs (little smokies)

Fish eyes (olives & grapes)

Fried Eels (Carrots sticks)

Fish Brains (cantaloupe)

Pirate Brew (root beer)

and

Pirate Booty (popcorn, gold chocolate coins & gushers)

The girls dressed up as pirates, Shelby really got into it.

The girls thought it was a lot of fun and the names were really funny.

At first they were really into the movie (Pirates of the Caribbean 1), but with it not being a cartoon they didn't always stay interested.

Tyra got a little scared I think.  She didn't like the skeleton pirates and would cover up with her blanket.

After the movie was over I asked the girls what they thought, Shelby said it was an adult movie because it scared kids.

But in the end, Tyra gave it a 1 thumbs up and Shelby gave it a 2.

They are excited for next weeks movie.

Our March movies are:

March 8th- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory (I don't really like this movie but I think the girls will like it)

March 15- Darby O' Gill and the little people (to celebrate St. Patrick's day)

March 22nd- Tangled

March 29th- James and the Giant Peach

Some Pictures

Here are some pictures I took this winter with my new camera that I really like.

This one was taken at Tracy's house.  It makes me laugh

Tracy's cat Jelly Bean saying hello, or I want food.

Melyni took this picture, but I really like it.

I thought this was a really cool picture I took.

Shelby playing Sorry with her dad.

I love Shelby's messy hair.

I thought this was a funny picture of Tap.

I love this guy, even when he's playing video games with his friends.
