Happy Summer!

We took Keira and Quinn to their very first movie in the theater today! We all went to see Toy Story 3 and I have to say- it was fantastic! I even cried at the end! That’s typical Disney for you! Keira was extremely excited to go to the big theater! All day she packed and repacked her purse in preparation for the event! When it was time to leave for the show, she came from her room dressed in her fancy princess dress with wings, dress-up shoes, and had her purse officially packed for the event! She shouts that she is “dressed-up” ready to go! We let her wear her chosen outfit because why not?? Can’t argue with a girl this excited!! The kids did SO great! I packed some official snack packs which consisted of cheese crackers, KIX cereal, and (gasp) fruit snacks- that are neither fruit, nor good snack- but an added surprise bonus! We also had our juice boxes, fruit, other drinks, secret snacks just in case- and yes, they let me drag my overstuffed bag into the theater- no questions asked! At one point, Daddy turned to see Quinn on my lap, both of us with our 3-D glasses on, snacks in hand, enjoying the movie together! A fun event for all of us!

Another highlight of our weekend – FIRST RED TOMATOES!!! Quinn- boy who eats no vegetables- went out to the garden, pulled a ripe, red, grape tomato off of the vine, popped it into his mouth enjoying every bit of it followed by a fresh green bean, peas, and sweet corn on the cob! All cheered!

Our garden is ROCKIN’! We are going to have tomato overdose very soon- about 200 green tomatoes hang from our beautiful plants all started from seed!

Keira put Q in a timeout at the park and he actually sat there until she said it was okay for him to get up, then they reversed roles- too funny! I hear her say to him “Now Bubba, that was not okay. Timeout for 2 minutes.” He is actually practicing his deep breathing in this picture! My little mommy in training!
